Land Use Plan Development and Maintenance:Discussion led by George Lortz. The Land Use Task Force successfully completed the Land Use Survey of HVL residents. The final number of households responding was 757, which represents 41% of the households in HVL. This is considered to be a very good return for this size of survey. A presentation of the detailed results, analysis and recommendations of the Land Use Survey will be made available asap. There has been steady progress toward the draft copy of the Land Use Plan and the Task Force is on target to have it finished by year end.

Information about how to submit ideas will be explained in the article.
