In the Fall of 2021, Board members from their respective Districts were asked to host District Information Sessions with the intent to inform the public that a Comprehensive Plan exists, as well as Planning, Zoning, and Subdivisions, and to ensure the public knows that they hold an open and vital role with developing the Comprehensive Plan and its recommended policies.

The CAC returned in the Spring and Summer of 2023 with its last set of collaborative events prior to the presentation of the Comprehensive Plan to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. In this last set of collaborative events the CAC mirrored its collaboration efforts from 2022 yet this time they came with a draft of the new plan as well as visualizations to help show the potential future we could have together. The CAC hosted these final Sessions in order to make sure that the vision of the community was appropriately captured and planned to be implemented. Based on the feedback it was determined that the vision of the community was appropriately captured in the CAC's work.
