CSET Conducting Public Hearing on Community Needs and Community Action Plan

VISALIA, CA – The Community Services Employment Training (CSET) Board of Directors invites Tulare County residents to attend a Community Action Plan Public Hearing to share their input on important community needs, issues and goals. The hearing will be held on Thursday, June 15, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. at CSET’s main office in Visalia located at 312 NW 3rd Avenue.

CSET requests assistance from the public to identify gaps in services and seeks to implement strategies that support economic advancement and increase resources for local residents. CSET conducts a countywide survey, community forums and public hearing every two years to gather feedback on services in Tulare County. The results of the survey and comments gathered from the Public Hearing formulate CSET’s Community Action Plan, a bi-annual detailed plan to deliver the programs and services communities are in need of most. 

“The Community Action Plan Public Hearing is an important part of gathering input from the community,” said Mary Alice Escarsega-Fechner, CSET’s Executive Director. “The hearing provides residents the opportunity to share their opinions and concerns about significant issues and services available in their communities.”

During the survey process, CSET conducted nine community forums throughout Tulare County and reviewed nearly 350 surveys from Tulare County residents.  Survey results will be shared at the Public Hearing along with an analysis of resident needs and priorities.  The draft Community Action Plan is available to review and provide anonymous feedback at www.cset.org/cap.  For more information, please contact Lily Rivera-Graves at (559) 741-4615 or lily.rivera@cset.org.
