Read the following articles in order from left to right, top to bottom. The intent of these pages is to make public information about the Redevelopment Agency, how redevelopment of areas is harming and threatening many areas, the people and the environment. Redevelopment is another way to enable development of areas by corporations in an area when such development may not otherwise be possible. Redevelopment is primarily a means for local governments to increase their tax revenue dollars for areas. To redevelop an area is not necessarily to the benefit of an area, its residents, or its businesses.
Redevelopment often leads to unfair competition.
The intent of these web site pages on redevelopment, and on the Monte Rio sewer project, in the Russian River area, is to show how this area has been effected and will be effected. These pages also show how local government in Santa Rosa and of Sonoma County have failed to consider the local residents. Residents of Guerneville, Monte Rio, Rio Nido, Duncans Mills, and other towns in the Russian River area in California, are not being allowed to have control of the redevelopment. Objections to redevelopment by the people and residents who will be effected are being ignored. Many people do not want redevelopment or the sewer project which is not needed.
