Thank You
Good afternoon!
I want to thank all of you who took the time to join us at our Community Meeting last week at the Grand Vista Hotel.
We had residents from Big Sky, county staff and city officials.
We had a great time telling folks about our project and getting to know the community better.
There were plenty of questions and comments by residents and businesspeople who joined us, as well as City officials from the surrounding area.
Folks had great questions for our experts at the information booths, highlighting what we're doing to make our project work for the community, including:
- Preserving 500 acres of open space
- Contributing more than $3.6 million to public agency budgets within Ventura County
- Generates green power for more than 6,250 homes
We want to invite all of you to come up and see our project for yourself. We're having an Open House, geared towards families with kids, at the Landfill on November 7th from 10 am to 2 pm.

Sincerely,
