Project Summary: The Geyserville Community Plaza project will provide the unincorporated town of Geyserville with a much needed and requested outdoor recreation area for its residents, as well as a venue for community-based events including the Fall Colors Festival and Geyserville Tractor Parade. It will connect the business section of town with SMART and Great Redwood Trail, providing a visual entrance to the town commerce. The planned improvements to the undeveloped area at the current Sonoma county Park and Ride facility will increase the visibility of the parking lot and provide patrons with modern services such as public restrooms and electric charging stations.
