LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Farmers, employees and others in the agricultural community are being urged to mark their calendars for an upcoming meeting to focus on agriculture as part of the new Lake County General Plan.

The meeting for an agricultural community focus group to inform Lake County 2050, the project to update Lake County’s General Plan, will take place on Thursday, Nov. 21.

It will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

The Lake County General Plan is a policy document that guides growth and change throughout the unincorporated county for a 25-year period.

Agriculture is an element in the county’s General Plan due to its critical role in Lake County’s culture, history and economy.

County officials want to connect with members of the agricultural community, including agricultural workers, landowners and other farmers, to learn about their priorities and needs so that Lake County 2050 supports the ongoing sustainability of Lake County’s agriculture sector.
