Defining Communities

3/10/2016

There are many ways to define communities Best way to define a neighborhood remains to hear from the people

who live there Some examples of communities of interest could include:

School attendance areas; housing developments; neighborhoods around parks; horse-friendly neighborhoods

Some communities want to be unified to maximize their voice in single trustee area election. Others (often school attendance areas) want to be divided so they have multiple representatives on the board.

For Discussion

These are NDC’s initial draft plans. Through discussion and revision, we hope they will evolve into Corona’s preferred map.

What do you like and dislike about each map? Are there parts of different maps that might be combined into

an alternative map? Are there changes to a specific map that you would like to

consider? (Remember, changes must be population balanced.)

For further review: there are PDF maps and demographic profiles on mapcorona.com, plus an online interactive map.
