"Do you want to shape OV’s future? Town now accepting applications for project committees

Join the conversation and make a difference in your community! The Town of Oro Valley is accepting applications, now through Wednesday, April 30, 2014, for positions on one of the three Your Voice, Our Future project committees. The project’s goal is to have the community identify common values, issues and solutions. The committees will advise project staff and make recommendations on policy and goal proposals. The results will yield a community plan, often referred to as a “General Plan,” which will shape decisions about the Town’s future and quality of life.

The committees will focus on the following areas:

• Development: land use, community design, cost of development, infrastructure, and transportation/circulation 
• Environment: open space and natural resources conservation, water resources, archaeological and historic resources, and environmental planning 
• Community: economic development, public facilities, services and safety, arts and culture, parks and recreation, and housing

Residents from all walks of life are needed. Applications are easy to fill out and submit online at www.YourVoiceOV.com.

This plan cannot be built without Oro Valley residents. Your Voice Committee members will be tasked with turning the draft vision and guiding principles into a plan for action. The policy development and review portion of the Your Voice, Our Future project is expected to take approximately 12 months to complete. Each of the committees will meet approximately 6-10 times during that period.

This is your opportunity to join with others and help shape Oro Valley’s future!

The draft vision and guiding principles are still available for comment on www.YourVoiceOV.com. The Oro Valley Planning & Zoning Commission will review them at a public meeting on April 10 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers."
