Letters to the County
February 16, 2007

To all concerned citizens:

Jess Jackson (of Kendall Jackson) is planning to build a commercial winery and event center in our pristine valley.

Please help us Save our Valley and Stop Jess Jackson's Project.

Key Concerns about Jackson's proposed project:

Violation of restrictions outlined in Franz Valley Area Plan, the governing zoning law.

Significant impact on endangered species, traffic, noise, and lighting and critical water issues involving the entire Russian River Valley watershed.

Inaccuracies in Jackson's account of the History of the Valley.
