$200,000.00 for the Meyers plan? could be wasted
Interesting how this Sustainability Group can literally lie on their application that the Meyers Plan is “ready to use” six months ago to get this funding !
The Meyers Plan is still not done to this day !
The Strategic Growth Council that granted this funding is another state conceived- unchecked spending program that we all pay for !
Proving yet again the TRPA has zero interest in the people who actually live in Meyers. Pathetic hypocrites!!
