Sunday, April 25th, 4:00 -5:30 PM, via Zoom. 

Please join us and our co-sponsors* for an educational event to help clarify community concerns around UCSC’s recently released Long Range Development Plans and the Draft Environmental Impact Report, and discuss questions and concerns you may have, including:

UCSC hopes to grow by 50% within the next 20 years. How would that affect humans and other species in Santa Cruz City and County? What might the impacts be on our natural resources and environment? Are there ways to reduce these effects?

Is the University being realistic about the potential effects of its growth? What about housing, water, wildfire, and transportation issues? Are UCSC’s proposed mitigations to its expansion adequate? How can UCSC’s stated goals, e.g. housing new students on campus, be made enforceable?

These are just some of the topics that will be addressed, along with plenty of time for questions and thoughts from residents who attend.
