WE’RE BAAACK!
Team Progressive Mariposa has been on hiatus thru most of the summer, except for an occasional board meeting and a get-together to work on our Bylaws. #FergusonFire caused everyone to lose a month, including us, and we’ve had to adjust our Fall schedule and reconvening accordingly.

Mariposa Biomass Project Appeal Hearing Continues
An appeal was filed with the Mariposa County Board of Supervisors to rescind the Conditional Use Permit for the Mariposa Biomass Project.
