LandWatch's Oct. 1st Monterey Downs Info Event
In partnership with Sustainable Seaside, LandWatch invites you to our Saturday, October 1st Around the County event, "What's Next for Monterey Downs: an Update by LandWatch and Sustainable Seaside." We hope you can join us to learn about Monterey Downs, its impacts on our community, and what you can do to help us stop it. Our goal is to inspire you and provide information about the mega-development called Monterey Downs at this free event. Instead of tearing out the trees, bulldozing the landscape, putting in more houses, and adding more cars—we believe there is a better vision for Seaside. If you agree, please RSVP your attendance to Chris Flescher (cflescher@mclorg) or RSVP by filling out this Google Form. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up early. |
