“More than 160 residents of the Ojai Valley committed three Sunday afternoons to come together, broaden their contacts in the community, learn about one another and work together to identify win/win projects that would benefit the Ojai Valley. They volunteered a remarkable amount of time and energy. The input, ideas and thoughtful responses from these dedicated residents has provided inspiration and a focus on positive ways we can work together to make the Ojai Valley better. All of their efforts are much appreciated.”
“This report, including all of the data collected at the three discussions, is available to the public. It may be used by any person or group to plan their next steps in moving the Ojai Valley forward. Supervisor Bennett’s office will monitor the efforts of the Ojai Valley Green Coalition and stay actively involved in discussions with the Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Department and the Red Cross to promote continued efforts on Disaster Preparation. Please feel free to contact Supervisor Bennett’s office if you have questions. You may call 654-2703 or email Steve.Bennett@ventura.org”
