Napa Pipe meeting moved

The Napa County Planning Commission voted on Wednesday to reschedule the second meeting in a series of public workshops on the Napa Pipe development proposal.

Originally planned for April 8, the special Planning Commission meeting will now take place on April 22 at 6 p.m. at the Napa County Office of Education, 2121 Imola Ave., Napa.

The workshop’s theme is “neighborhood character and design.” Additional workshops will focus on technical issues such as water and traffic.

According to Napa County Planning Director Hillary Gitelman, the scheduling change was made to accommodate the new public relations firm hired by the county to conduct the Napa Pipe workshops.

Tiffany van Gorder, general manager of Balzac Communications & Marketing, who will organize the meetings, said the change will give her firm more time to meet with key groups in advance of the meeting and to report on the project’s timeline. Van Gorder said pushing back the meeting will also encourage greater attendance. /Register
