JCC Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The Master Plan provides staff, elected officials and citizens with a valuable planning tool to guide the development of new facilities and programs over the next 10-15 years. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update process spanned almost two years, and comments from 1,300 citizens were compiled and analyzed. The Plan was approved by the County Board of Supervisors in June 2009, and now becomes a component of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, currently under review.
