Participation in the program is completely voluntary. The county would like to work with willing owners to acquire properties in the Bristol Park and Ashbury Hills neighborhoods.
The county provided a progress update about the development of a grant application and gauged interest of homeowner willingness to participate at the meeting. After the presentation, homeowners had the opportunity to ask further questions in small groups or individually.
