Housing Element of General Plan Madera County
Housing is a big topic in our mountain communities. The initial submittal of the housing element document was rejected by the state. The last proposal requested a large rezoning project still in need of proper allocation. A virtual workshop will be held by Madera County on Oct. 29th from 5:30-7:00 PM. A Zoom link will be provided soon. Please join. Feedback is welcome and necessary from our community members! Zoom link: https://maderacountyhousingelement.com/
