Who we are

We are a group of Redwood City residents who want what's best for our community. We are united by our concerns over Cargill and DMB's Saltworks Project, a project that has serious implications not only for our environment, but also for our economy and the future of our city.

Cargill and DMB’s Saltworks development is one of the biggest issues our city is facing right now. Yet, some of the most important questions are not being discussed—the enormous traffic impacts, the threat to our precious water supply, and how the project might divert much-needed attention away from revitalizing our downtown.

We organized this group to make sure that our neighbors are aware of these critical issues and to demonstrate to city officials that the community is opposed to this development. This project is not only in the wrong place, but is incredibly risky—environmentally, financially, and for our quality of life.

This is our community and we want it to prosper for our children and ourselves. We support responsible, smart growth that respects our community’s vision, as illustrated in the City’s excellent new General Plan that promotes growth downtown, near shops, restaurants, and transit. We don’t want to see our community’s vision undermined by the Cargill and DMB plan to place houses on the salt ponds east of 101.

We are not impressed by glitzy ads and promises. We want an honest dialog to guide our community in meeting our future challenges. How will this proposed project really affect us? What risks might we face if it is approved? It is the responsibility of all of us to address these questions honestly. The future of Redwood City is at stake.
