The County has been running a series of open houses to gather public feedback and answer questions. The last one is tomorrow night
Jefferson County Parks and Open Space is conducting an evaluation to determine where the county should invest its resources to support community gathering and provide opportunities for equine, youth and agricultural activities. Potential investment locations include the Jefferson County Fairgrounds and Fehringer Ranch (another county property).
A series of open houses are planned to share information, gather community feedback and provide a space for questions.
