Could a new Mountain Springs development proposal be in the works? Mountain Springs Project Manager Ron Kopf is one of three guests scheduled to speak when Voter´s Choice holds a general membership meeting tonight in Sonora. He´s expected to talk about new developments in the controversial housing project.

The local special interest group was originally formed in 1997 to oppose the first Mountain Springs Development. That plan proposed building more than 2,000 homes near the Mountain Springs Golf Club off Lime Kiln Road south of Sonora.

Several redesigns of the project have since been drawn. Now project representatives want community input for their next revise of the housing and mixed-used development.

Voter´s Choice will also host Tuolumne County Community Development Department director Bev Shane this evening. She will talk about growth issues in the county.

The meeting gets under way at 7 o´clock at the Sonora Elks Lodge.
