A "Consolidated Plan Workshop" - With Enough Notice

CONSOLIDATED PLAN WORKSHOP
The City of Costa Mesa issued a press release today inviting community input at the second workshop on the Consolidated Plan.  You may recall the first one was announced with very short notice a couple weeks ago.  This will be an exercise similar to the many General Plan workshops held over the past couple years.

COME CHECK OUT THE SENIOR CENTER
This should be a great opportunity for us to check out the recently-renovated Senior Center - to see how a couple hundred grand of our taxpayers dollars were spent on our behalf.
