Do you have an interest in housing or economic development policies of Florence? Do you want to work at the ground-level on Community Development, Housing and Parks and Recreation issues? Then consider joining the Community & Economic Development Committee (CEDC)!

One of the first projects of the CEDC participated in for 2019 was the Florence Housing Code update. The CEDC served as the project’s advisory committee and was responsible for providing feedback on proposed draft city code updates, which were adopted November 18th.

The CEDC consists of between 5 and 11 members, of which the majority must be residents of the City. Members serve for a term of four years with a term expiration on January 31st. Economic Development Coordinator, Kelli Weese said, “This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in working with the city to create solutions to some of Florence’s biggest concerns.”

CEDC generally meets once per month as a group with the potential for more subcommittee meetings as needed. Persons interested in positions should expect to attend recurring meetings and devote time for study of issues and performance above and beyond meeting attendance. Volunteer time is vital in working towards solutions to local government issues.

If you are interested in serving your city and getting involved, consider applying for the Community and Economic Development Committee. The deadline for applications is fast approaching on December 31st so apply today!
