Who makes the decisions about PB issues, where are they made and what are they about?

Did you know that many discussions and decisions about our community and events held in our community are made by local PB organizations?

Become more informed about your community by attending one or more of these monthly meetings.

The PB Town Council, PB Planning Group, and Mission Bay Gateway group are open to the public. You can attend to voice your neighborhood concerns during their public comment. Volunteer to become a board member.
