AC34 Meeting Tomorrow

If you’re at all interested in seeing the 34th America’s Cup sailed on San Francisco Bay, AC Outreach Manager Ariel Ungerleider is urging you to attend tomorrow’s Board of Supervisors meeting to show support for the event. "We are urging the Board to deny the appeals to the AC34 Environmental Impact Report and allow the project to move forward," Ungerleider said. "They need to hear from our community partners and allies about the critical need for the type of economic impact and job creation that this event will bring to San Francisco and what a positive impact this world-class sporting event will have on our City. They need to hear from America’s Cup fans, sailing enthusiasts and non-sailors too, about what America’s Cup event means for the future of our City. Perhaps most importantly, City Hall needs to hear from neighborhood residents and small business owners that they support the America’s Cup and are looking forward to seeing it succeed."

The meeting is tomorrow, January 24, at 4 p.m. in City Hall Room 250. Please RSVP to Ungerleider if you intend to testify. If you can’t make the meeting, you can still send each Supe a letter urging them to deny the appeal of the EIR. If you’re a resident of San Francisco — in other words, a constituent — be sure to note that in the letter. Contact them through www.sfbos.org.
