TEAMs Interactions with the City and County |
|
|
The joint Punta Gorda City Council and Board of County Commissioners meeting will be held on Friday, December 11 at 9 a.m. at the County Chambers in Murdock. First on the agenda will be a discussion on the South County Gateway Project. TEAM undertook the joint project, which will enhance the entrances to South County. The Punta Gorda City Council and Board of County Commissioners will be looking for direction in order to continue to provide county resources for this valuable project. Everyone is encouraged to attend this important meeting.
-----
TEAM has established a committee, headed by Larry Okray, to work with the City to support the development of community gardens in Punta Gorda. Interested gardeners can contact TEAM to become involved in the organizing stages.
-----
TEAM is working with the City on a Bicycle Loaner Program and will help in soliciting for donors to purchase bicycles and related safety equipment. Businesses in the area would become sponsors who would loan the bicycles to visitors to use while touring around Punta Gorda.
-----
The TEAM Artisans' Village Committee has presented a concept to the City Council to provide affordable space for working artisans which will attract visitors to the downtown area.
