State of Old Towne Forum Brings City Issues to the Community

Residents of the City of Orange are invited to take part in a community conversation at the upcoming State of Old Towne Forum, hosted by the Old Towne Preservation Association.

The forum offers an opportunity to hear directly from a panel of City of Orange officials as they discuss key issues impacting Old Towne and the broader community. Topics are expected to include public safety, short-term rentals, Chapman University’s Specific Plan, city finances, the Mills Act, and other matters shaping the future of the area.

Attendees are encouraged to submit questions ahead of time, helping guide the discussion toward the issues that matter most to residents. The format is designed to be informative and accessible, creating space for transparency, dialogue, and a better understanding of how decisions are being made at the city level.

For those who want to stay informed and engaged in local issues, the forum provides a chance to listen, ask questions, and connect with both city leadership and fellow residents.

The State of Old Towne Forum takes place Thursday, April 16 at 6 PM at the City Council Chambers, located at 300 East Chapman Ave in Orange.
