ThE MON FOREST TOWNS PARTNERSHIP

This is a work in progress.   Our goal is to engage anyone who is willing to be respectful, be objective and provide meaningful feedback, whether it be positive or negative. 

Our first board meeting is scheduled for December 6, 2024 zt 4:00 p.m. (rescheduled from November 22).   We plan to discuss our "Top Five for 2025" initiatives.  The five initiatives are as follows:

Initiative 1: Building the Bridge Between Hi-Desert and the Coachella Valley

• Objective: Strengthen connections and refine drive-market collaboration between two regions across two counties served by one major international airport (PSP)

Initiative 2: Developing Collaboration Within Hi-Desert Communities

• Objective: Foster unity and collaborative efforts among Hi-Desert communities.

Initiative 3: Developing a Roadmap for Sustainability and Eco-Tourism/Eco-Stewardship

• Objective: Create a sustainable approach to tourism and environmental stewardship.

Initiative 4: Drafting a Plan for Community Health and Wellness

• Objective: Improve overall health outcomes for the community.

Initiative 5: Initiate the Conversation for Future JTGCA Joint Powers Authority Agreement

• Objective: Create a formal agreement to promote regional economic development.

These initiatives could significantly enhance community cohesion and development, and forming meaningful relationships which will make the Hi-Desert and Coachella Valley more resilient and

sustainable.

This is a developing story.
