How to shape the future of Southern California will be on the minds of many this month.
The Southern California Association of Governments will hold the next workshop in a series of Southern California Compass’ “Growth Visioning” regional workshops. The regional workshop will bring together community leaders, elected officials, business leaders and residents to develop strategies that will address growth and change in Los Angeles, Bentua, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial counties.
The Southern California Compass program is an effort among public, private, educational and non-profit groups to rethink the region’s future. Led by the SCAG, the process provides information that will allow residents to explore options, develop growth alternatives and discuss those alternatives with others in the community. It is an inclusive, collaborative approach to bring communities together and solicit involvement at all levels to address the region’s challenges.
The workshop will take place on Oct. 30 from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with registration beginning at 5:30 p.m. Pre-registration is recommended as space is limited. Participants can register by calling 1(800) 337-4819 or by visiting www.socalcom-pass.org. The event, located at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center in the community meeting hall at 3330 Civic Center Dr., is open to the public and free.
