PINELLAS COUNTY - Deadline to make a reservation to attend a June 4 meeting on Pinellas County's proposed affordable housing ordinance is May 21.
Pinellas County Community Development Department is coordinating an interactive design charrette to provide input on the county’s draft Inclusionary Housing Ordinance on Wednesday, June 4, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Largo Cultural Center, 105 Central Park Drive, Largo.
Nicholas J. Brunick, attorney from Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen, Chicago, Ill., and Jaimie Ross, attorney and affordable housing director for 1000 Friends of Florida, will lead a morning session on national, state and local inclusionary housing initiatives. The discussion will focus on the inclusion of workforce housing in new developments to provide affordable housing to all residents and create a high quality of life for those wishing to live and work in Pinellas County.
A charrette brings individuals from the community together to freely discuss ideas in small groups, with the goal of forming a larger, shared vision for the future. The public is encouraged to join elected officials, city planners and developers in round-table discussions on key elements of Pinellas County’s Inclusionary Housing Program.
A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. To reserve a seat, contact Jane Muhrlin, Community Development, at jmuhrlin@pinellascounty.org or call 727-771-2112 by Wednesday, May 21.
