GreenPlay, LLC, a nationally known parks and recreation management consulting firm has been hired by the City of Ventura to develop a Senior Strategic Plan. During the week of September 30th GreenPlay will be hosting public forums, focus groups, and stakeholder meetings to gather valuable community input.

In addition, the plan will develop a set of realistic goals for meeting senior needs with strategies and actionable steps for accomplishment.
