A shared civic home for Sebastopol and West County — bringing the library, gathering space, and community services together under one roof. The plans are taking shape now.
"The Commons" is the idea of a single, welcoming civic hub that serves all of West County — not scattered services in aging buildings, but one shared home for the things a community does together.
This page is a placeholder for now. The Commons committee is finalizing the details — including how the O'Reilly building could serve as its home — and I'll publish the full plan and the recent presentation here as soon as they're ready.
The committee's vision and recommendations for what the Commons includes and how it comes together.
How the O'Reilly building could become the home for the Commons — the site, the fit, and what it would take.
The slide deck shared with the committee, so you can see the same materials the decision-makers are working from.
Meeting dates and the ways you can share your voice as the plan moves forward.
A community project needs a funding plan. The most promising no-new-tax option is an EIFD — here's the plain-English explainer.
The Commons is a long-term effort worth getting right. Sign up and I'll let you know when the committee's materials and the presentation are posted.
