Engaging the East Whisman community
Since September 2020, we’ve worked closely with the community and the City of Mountain View to gather feedback to inform the Middlefield Park Master Plan. This collaboration has resulted in a plan that aims to reflect the community’s values and interests for years to come. We’ll continue to engage with the Mountain View community as the project progresses.
