🌿 Santa Rosa City Council has selected CMG Landscape Architecture to lead the master planning process for our future park — and this is a firm that knows how to create beautiful, community-centered public spaces right here in the North Bay.

A 2-mile corridor connecting Farmers Lane to Spring Lake is now public land, and soon, Santa Rosa residents will have a real chance to help shape what it becomes. Community engagement is coming — stay connected so you don't miss your moment.

A library that lends more than books.

Sacramento's new "Library of Things" lets patrons check out sewing machines, tools, and gadgets they don't need to own forever.

Why buy what you'll only use twice? Borrow it instead.

It's practical. Affordable. And keeps perfectly good items out of landfills.

A quiet reinvention of what a library can be—not just a place for stories, but a place for stuff that actually helps you live. Now that's a plot twist. 📚🧵🔧💡

A long time coming. Congrats Southeast Greenway for your work in making this happen.

Big news for the Southeast Greenway! 🌿

Santa Rosa City Council has approved the next step in bringing this long-envisioned project to life—a master plan to transform a former highway corridor into a vibrant, 2-mile park and multi-use pathway. 🚴‍♀️🌳

Starting this summer, the community will have a chance to help shape the future of the Greenway—think walking and biking paths, gathering spaces, gardens, and more.

This is just the beginning, and your ideas will help bring it to life. Stay tuned for ways to get involved!
