JOIN US TUESDAY 7/21 AT 1PM!

Dear Friends of Shollenberger Park,

This Tuesday, July 21st at 2:00 PM (please arrive at 1pm) the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors will cast their final vote for or against the Dutra Company building an asphalt plant across from Shollenberger Park.

RSVP AT OUR FACEBOOK PAGE

At the last meeting three supervisors expressed, in a straw vote, their opposition to the plant while two for it. They could not vote it down at that time because this balance was unexpected and they did not have a resolution of denial prepared, which is apparently needed for a final no vote.

On Tuesday they will have two resolutions prepared, one to approve the project, and one to deny it. Despite their most recent straw vote opposing the asphalt plant, we are very concerned that one of the tentative no-voters will change their mind and vote for the project. Therefore, it is very important we see a turn out in huge numbers to ensure that no one on the County board decide to change their vote. Please give us one final push in defeating this project, which is the wrong plant in the wrong place...run by the wrong company.

Please join us at the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors chambers at 575 Administration Drive, Room 100A in Santa Rosa this Tuesday and help sway the vote with your presence. Plan to arrive by 1PM so you can secure a spot in the chamber.

Interested in carpooling? Meet us at our headquarters at Noon on Tuesday. HQ located at 322 Western Ave., in Petaluma.


See you there!!
