Share Your Vision on SDC’s Future

Apr 28, 2020

Sonoma Developmental Center’s future is in the community’s hands. To take full advantage of that, all local residents are strongly encouraged to join a Virtual Community Kick-Off for the SDC Specific Plan from now to Saturday, May 2.

Closure of the 860-acre facility has been a multi-layered process, and the latest stage is to develop an SDC Specific Plan. All local residents are asked to join in this official county-led process—even those who already provided input at past meetings.

SDC’s Future is Sonoma Valley Future!
