The second workshop will also take place at our Orange County Government Administration Center, 201 S. Rosalind Ave., on Monday, April 7, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Those interested in attending may register at <a href=\"http:\/\/sustainableoccommunityworkshop.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/sustainableoccommunityworkshop.eventbrite.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial workshop, citizens visited seven different stations, one for each of the focus areas for the plan including Arts &amp; Culture, Built Environment, Civic Engagement, Community, Education, Mobility, and Natural Resources. Attendees interacted with members of the subcommittees that developed the draft goals and strategies for the plan. Additionally, many citizens registered for PlaceSpeak, an online town hall application that Orange County is utilizing to get feedback on elements of the draft plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoyed the first section, where we visited the tables and learned about the different parts of the plan,\u201d said Sharon Warner, a participant in the workshop. \u201cWe specifically were interested in sustainability in education and the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After visiting all of the stations, attendees were greeted by Lori Cunniff, deputy director for Orange County\u2019s Community, Environmental, and Development Services Department. The audience members were then given keypad polling devices and an opportunity to respond to several questions relating to their own views on sustainability and their role in \u201cOur Home for Life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Attendees listened to a presentation that provided a framework for thinking about sustainability. They also learned more about Orange County\u2019s promotion of sustainability and the process for development of the community sustainability plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe raised public awareness on the Mayor\u2019s sustainability initiative,\u201d said Cunniff after the event. \u201cBased on comments from the public, it seems the Sustainability Committee\u2019s work is on target.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The workshops concluded with a final keypad polling session where citizens provided input on their own commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens are encouraged to learn more about our Sustainability Plan, \u201cOur Home for Life,\u201d on our website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ochomeforlife.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ochomeforlife.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Sustainability Plan, known as \u201cOur Home for Life,\u201d continues our efforts to create a future in which Orange County will be known as the best place in the world to live, work, play and raise a family.<br \/>\nThe purpose of the plan is to make Orange County a more prosperous, healthy, and livable community for current and future generations <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5275,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24,49],"class_list":["post-2514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-county-news","tag-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Orange County Sustainable Community Workshop Engages Citizens<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/2014\/03\/orange-county-sustainable-community-workshop-engages-citizens\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Orange County Sustainable Community Workshop Engages Citizens\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Our Sustainability Plan, known as \u201cOur Home for Life,\u201d continues our efforts to create a future in which Orange County will be known as the best place in the world to live, work, play and raise a family.
