Santa Rita could really be an amazing community asset but it’s dominated by a stinking waste of precious acreage. Meanwhile, we will soon be asked to ante up for an improved airport that is completely fine (and I’m a gold-status frequent flier.)

This is the once-in-our-lifetime chance to fix this one. Chris Wilbur is a citizen-engineer whom I suspect understands the issues better than many councilors, and he is convinced that we can do better than leaving the plant in Santa Rita. Please consider sending the council an email and/or attend a meeting if that’s your style. Let’s get this moved out of this (potential) jewel of a park.
