Town & Country Overview
Town & Country is an effort by the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning to update the Antelope Valley Area Plan. An area plan is a document containing maps and rules that provides guidance for future land development and conservation for a specific geographic region. This project recognizes the individual needs and identity of each unique town in the unincorporated area as well as the collective needs and identity of the Valley as a whole. Its success depends on the commitment of residents, property owners, business owners, and other stakeholders in the Valley to develop a common vision that will guide growth in the unincorporated area of the Valley in coming years.
Valleywide Presentation – November 8, 2008
Residents, business owners, and stakeholders have been working this past summer to draft goals and policy recommendations that could change how future development and conservation will take place in the Antelope Valley. Come to this presentation to hear what they have to say and find out how you can make a difference.
