Palm Desert Redistricting Workshops, Hearings Set
The public is invited to a workshop on Thursday, January 20th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Palm Desert Community Center where residents will have a chance to learn about and provide feedback on the City’s redistricting process based on the recently released 2020 Census data.
