Hello University City! While school is out for most of us and many of us are thinking of vacations and taking time off, community groups such as UCPG and UCCA continue to meet … and City Council Committees, the Land Use and Housing Committee, and the City Council continue to conduct hearings and schedule votes. We even have changes to two construction projects in our area! UCCA has updated this Save-the-Date post to include new information that we were not able to include in the July print newsletter. Each update is marked with a warning sign ⚠️ in the Save-the-Date list below.

UCCA encourages you to participate in community and City Council meetings as we near the end of the Community Plan Update process and move towards the potential City Council vote on Tuesday, July 30.
