Public hearings for the project begin now! 

Dear Balboa Park Supporter,

  

The time has come, after almost two years, when we need your help most. Public hearings for the project begin now! This is your last chance to voice your opinion about the massive Balboa Park redevelopment project. Please join us in these next few meetings and final days to fight for what is right or San Diego will end up with a Balboa Park that is wholly unrecognizable, and one that will irreversibly destroy the legacy that we have been entrusted with from our forefathers.

 

Please save the dates, mark them on your calendar now! And write to each of these groups listed below with their emails who are voting on the fate of our park!

 

It is important you attend as many as these meetings as you can. We know this is asking a lot, but there is only one Balboa Park.

Hold your councilperson's feet to the fire, they have already (except for Sherri Lightner) let you down on this important project when they voted for the illegal MOU, let's give them the chance to show us how they have learned from that mistake and are ready to listen to their constituents now and do what is best for Balboa Park. 

San Diego more than appreciates all that you have done so far. We hear constantly from hundreds of people, non-SOHO members, who thank us for this effort and it is your effort they are responding to, so please, there is just a little further to go, please keep up your energy for these last rounds and join us!
