The SVMPO Board has scheduled a Work Session on April 25th at 3:00 p.m. SVMPO Work Sessions are informal meetings where Board members have an opportunity to discuss in depth topics of regional concern among themselves. This Work Session will discuss the relationship of the SVMPO with its member jurisdictions and its agreement with the City of Sierra Vista. Staff and agency presentations may be made to provide information to the Board to consider. These meetings are open to the public but time is not reserved for public comment. Members of the public may attend in person, or by phone, and may share written comments on this SVMPO website.

In an effort to better communicate with our regional partners and residents, the SVMPO is working on rebuilding our website. What you are seeing now is a bridge between our old site and the one we are working on.
