Your Vote Impacts The Future Of Porter Ranch

The Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council is holding an election on Saturday, March 1, 9am-1pm at Shepherd of the Hills Church, 19700 Rinaldi St. Those who live, work or own property in Porter Ranch are eligible to vote. There are 22 candidates vying for your 5 votes. 

“What difference will my vote make?” you ask? Plenty! There are lots of prospective changes ahead for Porter Ranch and the PRNC board members role is to hear your voice and represent your opinion to the City on proposals affecting Porter Ranch. Expected issues in the next four years include: residential development by Toll Brothers, commercial development by Shapell, proposed Aliso Canyon drilling, bike lanes, parking, traffic flow and more.

Just last year the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council celebrated ten years of service to the community, sponsored a Community Emergency Response Training class preparing 50 Porter Ranch residents for emergencies, and completed the project to have Porter Ranch designated as a community with the official blue signs.
