Hello Greenbelt Alliance members and friends. Five of the seven ballot
measures that we took a stance on swung our way during the elections.
Get a full recap on the Open Space and Smart Growth ballot measures in
this month's edition. Thank you for taking action and voting. We'll do
our best to keep you informed on important campaigns in this and future
Newswires.
Vacaville:
At a Crossroads
Vacaville has an opportunity to protect its long-term quality
of life. Greenbelt Alliance has released a report that seeks to explore
smart-growth alternatives on how Vacaville can preserve its open space
while providing room for growth. Read our article on the report to find
out how upcoming growth decisions may determine Vacaville's future.
