Dear Mr. Rolley,

You may be aware of the Public Workshop taking place tomorrow evening 
(Thurs., Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Community and Cultural Center) 
regarding the future of Morgan Hill's greenbelt and farmlands.  The 
decisions  concerning the greenbelt and farmlands will be the most 
important and enduring this City Council will make in the name of our 
community. To allow for development to eventually replace most of the 
remaining farmlands located in the south of Morgan Hill (east of Hwy 101 
to Maple Ave.), an area which serves as our greenbelt border with San 
Martin, will have long-term irrevocable consequences.

Thrive! Morgan Hill believes we must carefully manage these remaining 
lands to avoid the fate of so many other cities in Santa Clara County 
that have lost their greenbelt borders and farmlands to development.  
Thrive! Morgan Hill is a local group of residents that supports balanced 
choices for our city to ensure its long-term sustainability. Our mission 
is to work constructively with the wide array of Morgan Hill community 
interests to find solutions to some of the challenges facing our city. 
We favor options that balance the environment, economy, and community.

Notice at:

We need your support in reminding City Council that farmlands and the 
greenbelt are an important
part of the city’s future - not just ours, but those of many future 
generations to come.  We hope you will be able to attend this very 
important meeting.

Regards,
Julie Hutcheson
Thrive! Morgan Hill
