Topic:  

A New Zoo in Elk Grove

The hopes to build a brand-new zoo in Elk Grove in a 100-acre plot of land at Lotz Parkway and Kammerer Road. The zoo would sit on approximately 65 acres and would be 5-6 times the size of our current 14.7-acre zoo in Land Park. I am reaching out to members of our community with the hope of creating and maintaining relationships during the building and planning phases of the zoo. My goal is to create excitement and support within the local community for the new zoo project. I can come for an in-person meeting, or for meetings 20 or more miles away from Land Park I can do a zoom presentation.

Take-away Thought:  This New Zoo will be as impressive as our community helps us to make it. We need everyone's help to make this a reality
