The December 2014 Strategic Growth Council (SGC) meeting has been rescheduled for January 20, 2015.  The focus of the January meeting will be the presentation and proposed adoption of guidelines for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) and Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) programs for the 2014-15 year. 

Comments received on the September 23, 2014 Draft AHSC Guidelines reflected a diversity of perspectives and a need for thoughtful review and consideration by SGC staff and implementing agencies.  The revised guidelines will reflect key elements that were not complete in the September draft, as well as additions and clarifications in response to the public comments received.  The release of the final draft guidelines is anticipated in early January 2015.

Later this month, SGC will publicly post a summary of proposed AHSC guideline changes anticipated to be reflected in the final guidelines.
