Workshop: Fall 2005
In 2003 the City of Paso Robles was the
recipient of a grant from National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservations
Assistance (RTCA) Program. The grant enabled the City to conduct a public outreach
and community visioning effort for the Salinas River Corridor Master Plan
(Follow the River – Follow the Dream).
The initial community outreach efforts were so successful that the City Council established a working budget for a project dedicated to improving the Salinas River Corridor.
Through the continued outreach that followed, community members throughout Paso Robles and the county shared their thoughts and visions about a revitalized river corridor.
The
community input was collected and from the input culminated a
3-day Design Workshop (Follow the River, Follow the Dream) in
October 2005. Read more and see images from the
