Critical Land Use Planning Hearing this Thursday, June 11th 5:30pm @Forum Theater, College of the Redwoods

Written by: admin

From Healthy Humboldt County: -- CRITICAL LAND USE ELEMENT HEARING on THURSDAY, JUNE 11TH
5:30pm * College of the Redwoods * Forum Theater
At the April 30th hearing, over 80 members of our coalition spoke out for focused growth, land conservation, and a strong local economy. After winning a key vote on affordable housing last week, the consensus is that we can dramatically influence the GPU if we continue to mobilize in favor of the environmentally superior plan. We’re asking our members who --Support Alternative A’s “Community Forest Acquisition and Management Program” that could create a Community Forest for Eureka --Would choose a smaller urban footprint over sprawling residential development onto Humboldt’s prime farmlands and forests --Would like to prevent subdivision and development on industrial timber lands while allowing small landowners to live on the land they manage --Would like to keep development far enough from streams so that runoff and sedimentation do not further degrade salmon habitat to join us on June 11th.
