The City of Porterville and Kings County will both be recognized by the San Joaquin Valley Regional Policy Council for "the best plans - blueprints" for the future of the San Joaquin Valley. The City of Porterville is being recognized for its general plan and will receive the ward of Achievement, General Plan - Small Jurisdiction. Kings County will be honored twice - first with an Award of Achievement, Community Plans - Unincorporated Community for its general plan and then with an Award of Merit, Sustainable Development Policies for its General Plan, land use and resource conservation elements. The honors will be given out at the council's fall policy conference luncheon on Oct. 2 in Fresno. The contest stemmed from an effort three years ago by the eight regional planning agencies in the Valley to develop the first-ever coordinated Valley vision - the San Joaquin Valley Regional Blueprint.
