Southeast San Diego is growing and thriving thanks to locals within the community who have taken the initiative to become a part of the Chollas Valley Planning Committee. On the third Monday of every month, the committee meets to discuss important topics within the community that are either ongoing matters of business, or new matters at hand that are impactful to the area.
Their monthly meeting in November was heavily centered around improvements to Chollas Lake, gun violence taking place in Southeast San Diego, the ongoing assembly of the Black Arts District in Encanto, and a need for additional committee members to help with their efforts.
The first topic of discussion was brought to the table by a San Diego resident of over 49 years who is Native American and expressed an interest in having the Kumeyaay Nation become more involved in the process of facilitating improvements to Chollas Lake.
