Our current focus is on saving the Verdugo Hills Golf Course, located in Tujunga, California, adjacent to the 210 Freeway.
VOICE is working with the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhoopd Council and the Sunland-Tujunga Alliance, as well as community members and other local organizations in the effort to preserve this property.
The public comment phase of the Draft Environmental Impact Report [DEIR] concluded August 19, 2009. Thank you to all the individuals, families and organzations that contributed their comments. We are currently awaiting the release of the Final EIR. We will need to act quickly once that final document has been made public.
We encourage you to visit the savethegolfcourse.org website for more information regarding the DEIR and what you can do to help preserve open space, recreation and quality of life in the foothill communities of the greater Crescenta Valley.

June 7th's "Community Guide to CEQA" Workshop provided an excellent review of the California Environmental Quality Act and it's critical role in the EIR process.
We thank the Planning and Conservation League Foundation for providing this service to our communities. Special appreciation to Doug Carstens for conducting the workshop and helping us better understand our role with regard to CEQA. Thank you also, Paul Gilligan, for making sure the event ran smoothly.
