(PLACERVILLE, CA) – The County of El Dorado will be accepting applications for participation in focus groups for the Missouri Flat Area Master Circulation and Financing Plan (MC&FP) Phase II project.

The MC&FP Phase II is proposed to provide a framework to fund roadway infrastructure improvements, as needed, to the U.S. Highway 50/Missouri Flat Road Interchange and adjacent arterial and collector roads within the existing MC&FP area as established with Phase I. Phase II is needed to continue and expand the work begun in Phase I to alleviate projected traffic congestion and facilitate additional anticipated commercial development on the Missouri Flat Road corridor.

Two groups will be formed to represent the following interests:

  • Local Business/Economic Development Interests (Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development Partnership, tourism industry)
  • Real estate industry representatives (developers, landowners, real estate brokers)

It is anticipated that each group will include 8-12 people representing diverse viewpoints within the subject area. The focus group meetings are expected to be held in October 2017 and May 2018 (specific dates to be determined).

Applications will be accepted through 5:00 p.m. on September 6, 2017. Applications are available on the project website at:  http://www.edcmissouriflatupdate.com/. Applications will also be available at the front counter of the County of El Dorado, Community Development Services, Government Center Building C, 2850 Fairlane Court, Building C Placerville, California 95667.
