Upcoming Public Open House Events
The City of Bath, together with consultant Camiros, invites you to a series of public open house events to review and discuss the Public Review Draft of the updated Land Use Code.
Each open house will begin with a short presentation that introduces the proposed updates. Afterward, you’ll have the chance to explore at your own pace; dive into specific topics, ask questions, and share your feedback directly with the project team.
We invite you to come for the full presentation or stop by at any point during the event to learn more and join the conversation about the draft Code.
