Plumas County schedules first workshop in redistricting process
Plumas County Administrator Gabriel Hydrick announced today, Sept. 9, that the county has scheduled the first meeting in the 2021 redistricting process.
Every 10 years, local governments use new census data to redraw district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. State law requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings, workshops and conducting public outreach. Plumas County is working to engage residents in the process through community-based outreach and online at at the County’s website:https://plumascounty.us/2781/Redistricting‐2021
The first hearing for the redistricting process will be a workshop to introduce the community to the process of redistricting. This workshop is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 18, from 1 – 2:30 p.m. at the Veteran’s Hall, located at 274 Lawrence St. in Quincy. The meeting will also be available via zoom.
