Technical Review and Public Input Are Needed
The Town has requested that the Village of Oregon ask CARPC to postpone the August 13 public hearing until necessary technical information has been completed, shared, and reviewed.
The Town needs additional information to evaluate potential impacts related to stormwater, infrastructure, neighboring properties, and community resources. The Town also requested a public meeting with Village officials, the Veridian developer, and Town residents to discuss the proposal before the public hearing.
The Town believes residents and affected jurisdictions should have the opportunity to review the information and provide input before any decision is made.
How Residents Can Participate
Residents are encouraged to attend the August 13 CARPC public hearing, provide public comment, submit written comments, and contact Village officials with questions or concerns about the proposal.
Public participation is an important part of the planning process. The Town encourages residents to stay informed and provide input on decisions that may affect the community for years to come.
