VENTURA, Calif. – The County’s Planning Division will host a series of open houses where the public will have the opportunity to learn about the Preliminary Public Review Draft 2040 General Plan.  The General Plan is a long-range planning document that will guide land use, resource protection and development through 2040.

The 2040 General Plan includes goals, policies and programs on topics including biological and open space resources, climate change, economic vitality, agriculture, water resources, public facilities and other key issues. Public input provided at these open houses will be shared with the County Planning Commission during a series of work sessions starting in June and with the Board of Supervisors in August.

The 2040 General Plan is available on the project website at VC2040.org, the Planning Division Counter at the County of Ventura Government Center, 800 S.
