Dear Cloverdale Leadership,
I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed Esmeralda housing development and to encourage the City Council to support this important project.
Cloverdale, like communities throughout Sonoma County, needs more homes for people who live and work here. The lack of housing makes it increasingly difficult for families, workers, young people, and seniors to remain in the communities they call home. Building more housing is essential to maintaining a strong local workforce, supporting local businesses, and creating a community where people can afford to live near jobs, services, and transportation.
Esmeralda represents an important opportunity to make meaningful progress toward addressing these challenges. The proposed development would create approximately 600 new homes, providing much-needed housing opportunities for current and future Cloverdale residents. The project’s location near the future SMART station is particularly significant, creating an opportunity to connect new homes with regional transportation and reduce reliance on cars.
Thoughtfully planned housing near public transportation can help Cloverdale advance several community priorities at once: increasing housing opportunities, supporting economic vitality, reducing transportation impacts, and creating a more connected and resilient community.
We recognize that new development deserves careful consideration, and we appreciate the City Council’s responsibility to evaluate projects thoughtfully. At the same time, we believe the need for housing requires us to move forward with projects that can make a meaningful contribution to our community.
Esmeralda is an opportunity to add hundreds of homes in a location that can support both housing and transportation goals. We urge the City Council to support the project and help move it forward.
Cloverdale needs housing that allows families to stay, workers to live closer to their jobs, and future generations to have a place in the community. We respectfully ask you to say yes to Esmeralda and yes to more homes in Cloverdale.
Thank you for your consideration and for your service to the Cloverdale community.
Sincerely,
