The City of San Luis Obispo Invites Residents to a Community Meeting on Wednesday, March 18, to Learn More About Upcoming Construction at Righetti Community Park.

The City of San Luis Obispo will host a community meeting on Wednesday, March 18 at 4 p.m. at 1203 Tiberon Way to share updates on the construction of Righetti Community Park.
