Rivertown Town Square

Rivertown Town Square the Town Square will host all manner of community activities,music,farmers markets & staging for our parades and green space They can still do it !!!

Only by showing strength in numbers can we show support asking the City Council to reverse their decision to sell the lot to developers ! Visit the website for information. In June 2014, the City of Antioch presented a proposal to the City Council to sell the lot at the foot of E street ( between 2nd and 3rd ), demolish the Senior Center,Community Center and Community Theatre and build houses ther

e. It is to be sold to a developer. The Council approved the idea and we have been opposing it ever since. With public outcry, we were possibly able to remove the demolition of the Senior Center, Community Center and Community Theatre - but we aren't done yet ! We would like to see a Town Square in the location instead of housing. This beautiful spot should be maintained for all people to enjoy, not just a select few who will live in the new houses. Backed by Celebrate Antioch Foundation; the non-profit organization who have brought back the Fireworks when the City was unable to fund it, our plan is to keep the parcel City Owned but run by an organization that is dedicated to community events. It is to be built with donations and we will partner with other community organizations so no public monies are spent.

This new outdoor public space is uniquely situated along the Sacramento-San Joaquin River. It will benefit our diverse community by fostering a vibrant, thriving downtown.

Allow community. Discourage impunity. When someone does the legwork, when a group creates the necessary framework, when an organized idea and plan is put forward…..why would the city council place their hand up and say they it’s not what THEY want?

It has been proven that bringing amenities to a community will help its fiscal future more than adding a quick ‘fix’. We will not be able to fix the downtown Rivertown with one project, but we will be helping to build a community that cares enough to look to the future of it in an understanding way.

It is unfathomable that a community led project with attainable grant money, that has been researched by the city and specialists alike ( to the tune of a half million dollars) , that has been dragged through meetings, focus groups and planning stages for over a decade; can be approved by a full council , again taken through all the hoops for planning, then wiped off the face of our future in one vote without actually researching or reaching out to the originators.

What’s up with that? Wasting the time, money and research that has already gone into the project. The council should do their research and not continuously ask for us to dance at their command.

So, yes. We agree with this statement and hope all who read these important ideas will go sign the friggin petition already to get the community asset once again moving forward without uneducated denials.

Everything you've thought of, we've already argued.
Everything you've imagined, we've already researched.
Everything you've written, we've polished and presented.
It has been years.
And years.
And meetings.
And focus groups.
And meetings.
Now we have the opportunity for a grant ( read : free money ) to build it.
Just Do It.

With the "new" 🙄 information about the TownSquare lot ( read: the same city sponsored report we mentioned ), the Council wants to take a bit more time looking into uses for the space.
Again.

We invite you to come to the council meetings and public comment your thoughts.

Thank you and stay tuned!
