LAKEPORT, Calif. – The city of Lakeport is planning a public forum to welcome community input as part of the process of developing the Lakeport Lakefront Revitalization Plan.

The forum will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 6, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.

In April, the Lakeport City Council unanimously approved a $98,000 contract with the Nevada-based firm, Design Workshop Inc., for the plan's preparation, as Lake County News has reported: www.bit.ly/1SeG3Nv .

The lakefront revitalization project area extends along the shoreline from C Street in the south to Clearlake Avenue to the north.

Key locations include the former Natural High School property, owned by the Lakeport Unified School District, and the city's Library Park.

Part of the preparation process is public workshops, with the July 6 event one such event.

Lakeport Associate Planner Daniel Chance said the consultant will manage the meeting.

A stakeholders meeting that the Design Workshop previously conducted included questionnaire, with electronic devices to get public input. There also were small groups that prepared what their vision is along the shoreline as part of a charrette process, Chance said.
