• Ross plans 'stakeholder' briefings on civic center makeover (pressdemocrat.com) — Ross is gearing up for a major civic center overhaul, with town officials planning at least six online stakeholder briefings and extra council meetings so residents and neighbors can track the design and costs. Led by Ross resident architect Dan Winey and Gensler, the process will shape new facilities for public safety and administration ahead of a possible 2027 bond measure and a 2029 deadline for a new paramedic base.
