Neighbors of the proposed Upper Westside Project speak out in opposition to the project. The project will pave 2000 acres of farmland and habitat for residential and commercial development. The project’s western boundary is Garden Highway and next to the Sacramento River.

Friends, we need a big turn out at tomorrow’s Rally and the Supervisors’ vote.  If you can’t make it to one, go to the other.  You have a voice in local government.  You have a voice in what Natomas looks like in the future.  Use it.  Thank you.
