The story begins in 1988 when the effort to incorporate Fallbrook as a city had failed, and along with it, the hopes of local leaders who wanted a greater voice in government services.
The County of San Diego recognized the problem and initiated a program to establish goals and priorities for our community. In September 1988, the Fallbrook Revitalization Advisory Council was established. The members were selected as delegates from community organizations who had been invited to organizational meetings; Bill Ross served as Chair and Vince Ross as Vice-Chair.
Representatives from twenty organizations attended monthly meetings for the purpose of developing goals and objectives. Finally, in 1989, a report was submitted to the Board of Supervisors with two major goals - a request for funding of an extensive economic study, and a stretegic plan. The request was approved in 1990 and a consultant was selected; the report was finished in 1991. The Strategic plan has been a guideline for the Fallbrook Village Association's Revitalization program.
The Fallbrook Revitalization Advisory Council continues to meet on the third Thursday of every month from 10:30 - 11:30 ath the Fallbrook Public Utility District, 990 E. Mission Road. Meetings are open to the public.
Our monthly meetings provide a forum for community leaders representing organizations to discuss and be informed on major community issues. Our meetings last one hour and include a 25 to 30 minute special presentation on topics of broad interest. Our Newsletter includes a detailed summary of the featured topic and is distributed to over 200 community and governmental leaders and representatives.
