MERG
The Environment Is Our Economy
Thank you for visiting our web site.
|
Our organization is primarily devoted to maintaining and improving the quality of life in Mariposa County. We also are interested in regional, state-wide, and federal issues that have an impact in our local area. |
MERG seeks to seriously study the pros and cons of important county issues and present them to county officials and residents so that they can make informed decisions about the future of Mariposa County. This is done through our presentations to the Mariposa Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission, our website and newsletter, and through public news media as may be appropriate. The Board meets the first Monday of each month at 9:00 am. The public is welcome to attend. Please contact us to obtain the current location as we normally meet in private homes and the location is subject to change.
