blueprint is an Opportunity for you to help save madera County farmland

The San Joaquin Valley Blueprint process is being conducted by the councils of government in each of the region’s eight counties. In a series of public meetings
and workshops, it will gather citizen opinion to produce a vision of what the Valley should look like in 2050 and a “preferred growth scenario” that identifies lands to be developed, maintained for agriculture or preserved for nature.
