The County is embarking on the second round of community outreach in a multi-phase planning effort to develop a vision for the future of the Fairgrounds. This phase of outreach will invite members of the community to review ideas and preliminary assessment reports, and discuss potential uses for the site. The scope of the discussion will address all or parts of the property. The consultant team will collect the feedback and opinions.
The first phase included identifying the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities that exist within the 150-acre property. The multi-lingual community outreach has included a combination of community booths at regional events, a community workshop, stakeholder meetings, and a multi-lingual online survey. More than 2,100 community members have participated in the first round of community outreach - 1,100 people participated in person and more than 1,000 have responded to the online survey. The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors will hold a study session on February 24, 2015, at 1 p.m., to hear about and discuss the initial feedback from the community, existing conditions assessments and preliminary analysis reports.
