Support
a Strong Urban Limit Line in Contra Costa County
As part of the reauthorization of the
Measure C Transportation Sales Tax in Contra Costa County, the county and cities
will have to agree on and abide by a county-wide limit to growth until 2034.
Contact your
local representative and urge them to protect open space through a tight urban
limit line.

one million square feet
of commercial space in Lagoon Valley.
