Later this year, we will try to address those questions with a panel of county officials withexpertise in various facets of land use. At a third meeting, the membership will consider ourconsensus questions in order to be able to come to consensus and update our position.This kind of study allows the local league to take a position on an issue of importance to thefinancial, social, educational and legal well-being of the residents of the county. We need tohear each and every member’s voice in order to have the strongest, most credible basis fortaking action on important land use issues in Portage County.
