2019 General Plan Comprehensive Guide

Whew! We’ve been busy for 12 years and sometimes all the work that we’ve done can get lost among all the other important work we’ve been doing NOT related to the General Plan.

Below are the most important, easy to access in one place, “need to know” documents, letters, and comments from CAP and the CPC over the years. This is a timeline, with our earliest work at the top and the most recent at the bottom. It is easily apparent that we have been urging the County to do the right thing and adopt a General Plan that IMPROVES Calaveras County.

Check this page often, as we will be adding more as the year goes on.
