It’s been a long time…
…since you’ve heard from us. And like us, you’ve probably had plenty on your minds in recent times - in addition to the status of the potential development on the City People’s site.
We want you to know that we never stopped our work. Here’s what we’ve been up to:
We’ve moved our website! We’re now at www.savemadval.org
Our blog tells the step-by-step story of our fight for an environmentally responsible, aesthetically appropriate development – spanning back to 2016!
This five-year engagement has taken us through community meetings at MLK-FAME, our presence at every design review meeting held by the department of construction (SDCI), hiring experts who refuted and exposed flimsy, misleading, and manipulative data presented by the developer, and our most recent experience challenging SDCI in administrative court (the Hearing Examiner).
NOW we are preparing to take the next big step on December 17th as our attorneys present our case in Superior Court before an independent judge (a Hearing Examiner is a judge who works for the city). Cross your fingers – and if you’re able, please write a check or hit the Donate Now button at the bottom of this email. It’s our community’s support that has gotten us this far. Now please help SMV have our day in court.
Thank you, Madison Valley!
