ADU SUMMIT • CSUMB VISITOR / ALUMNI CENTER

Pacific Grove joins regional accessory-dwelling-unit summit

The city says homeowners, builders, designers and local leaders can attend a regional session on accessory dwelling units, with discussion of permitting and available support. The event is scheduled for Thursday, September 17 at the CSUMB Visitor Center / Alumni Center. The city notice gives the date but not a time-of-day publication stamp, so MyPG.news is listing this as an upcoming resource rather than assigning it an invented live-feed time.
