FOGG Open Letter – March 2, 2010

March 3rd, 2010

The number of FOGG supporters at the Wednesday, February 24 Planning Department Workshop was impressive.  The turnout and the manner in which our people presented their support to save our open recreational space made an impact on the others in attendance.  They had to leave knowing FOGG and our supporters are still out there just as strong and vocal as ever.

The presentation by the Planning Department was as usual, one sided and biased towards the development at 8 Washington, but we think the Planning Staff certainly got a strong message that we need to preserve the Golden Gateway Tennis & Swim Club, and that the push to save our active open recreational space isn’t going to disappear from the scene.
