A public meeting on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. to discuss Tejon Mountain Village and Frazier Park Estates will be hosted by TriCounty Watchdogs, an advocacy group.

They will discuss projected impacts of doubling or tripling the population of this area and explain the government hearing process.

Their goal is to encourage public participation at the upcoming hearings on the developments that will influence the future of our mountain.

The Watchdog meeting will be held at Cuddy Hall, 335 Lakewood Place, Lake of the Woods. Everyone is welcome.
