Santa Fe County invites the public to participate in the process to update the County’s General Plan at one of four Charrettes.  A “Charrette” is an intensive, three-day workshop that provides a consensus-based foundation for the Plan Update.  A Charrette has been held in the El Norte Area, and a Charrette will be held in each of the County’s three remaining Growth Management Areas (GMAs):   El Centro, Galisteo and Estancia.  Citizens are encouraged to attend the Charrette in the Area in which they live, but are welcome to attend the public meetings at any of the Charrettes.  The next Charrette will be held in El Centro.
