Community Resilience Center Project Progression
Late Summer/Early Fall of 2017 several public meetings were held to solicit input from the community noting what they wanted in Community Resilience Center. This information was then included in a Programming Document.
In December 2017 the CRC Program Document was reviewed and approved by the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors.
Also, in December 2017, County staff sent out a solicitation for property. The County was looking for 2-4 acre parcels in or near the Rim Fire evacuation area. Upon completion of the solicitation period the County received a total of eight property proposals. Three (3) from the Groveland Area and five (5) from the Tuolumne area. Staff then spent the next couple of months evaluating each proposed property and conducted an initial environmental review.
On December 19, 2017 the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors approved for staff to proceed with the next phase of work with one property in Tuolumne owned by the Mi-Wuk Tribe and one property in Groveland owned by Lawrence Griffiths and Groveland Community Services District.
