A Planning Project for Dumont-Lawson-Downieville
The Draft Plan is ready for review! Check it out HERE!
Clear Creek County is investing in planning for the DLD community. In late 2022, the County was awarded funding by Henderson Mine’s Social Impact program to conduct an $80K planning project to develop a community informed vision for the DLD region of the county in the form of a Subarea or Neighborhood Plan.
A Subarea Plan is a type of long-range guiding document that is prepared for a limited geographic area within a community and addresses both short and long-term needs.
This planning project will take place over most of 2024.
How can I Participate?
There are two main ways to participate. Both options give you an opportunity to know what is going on and to make sure your voice is included.
- You can participate as a Community Member. This means read emails and published materials, respond to the surveys or attend the 1-2 public meetings the project will provide to share information and gather input.
- You can participate as a Steering Committee Member. The Steering Committee will be asked to do everything community members will be asked to do, but will also be asked to provide more opinions, to attend 3-6 meetings or more meetings and to participate on a deeper level. Anyone can participate on the Steering Committee.
