The town will be returning to in-person neighborhood meetings. These are meetings that are held in relation to vetting proposed land use or zoning changes. These meetings are an important first step in vetting these proposed changes. There will also be a capability to join the meeting remotely.
The return to in-person was proposed by Vice Mayor Barrett at Wednesday's Oro Valley Town Council meeting. Her motion was approved unanimously.
Barrett asserted that the return to in-person will substantially improve the quality of the dialogue between residents, the applicant, and town staff.
