SPRINGS Community Alliance |
Economic and community development in the Valley’s unincorporated “Springs” communities of El Verano, Boyes Hot Springs, Fetters Hot Springs, and Agua Caliente is a top priority of the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce. Starting with Valley Improvement Project Committee more than 20 years ago, the Chamber facilitated an ongoing partnership between county government representatives, elected officials, businesses, community organizations, schools, and private citizens to focus on enhancing the Springs area.
Today, the Springs Community Alliance is focusing on economic development as well as safety and infrastructure improvements. This group has helped to implement projects such as burying of utility lines, replacement of water mains, pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements, affordable housing development, commercial property development, roadside beautification, and community events.
In 2003, the Sonoma Valley Redevelopment Advisory Committee (SVRAC) was formed to provide direct community input regarding the expenditures of funds in the Sonoma Valley Redevelopment Area. SVRAC conducts public meetings on the first Thursday of the month to review and update the Redevelopment Implementation Plan and make project-funding recommendations to the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.
