Protect our kids and our creek from COM's New Maintenance Facility!

The College of Marin (COM) is building a new Maintenance and Operations facility on a former playing field adjacent to the Kent Middle School and Corte Madera Creek. They never disclosed to the public that they plan to use the site to collect and transfer trash, store hazardous materials, and house the maintenance vehicles and equipment for the entire COM Kentfield campus. They claimed that the new facility will cause "no significant impact" on the public school or the creek without disclosing these intended uses and purposely avoided conducting an Environmental Impact Review (EIR).

COM needs to stop the project until the full use of the site is disclosed to the public and a plan is made to mitigate any potential impacts to the 600+ students at Kent Middle and the Corte Madera Creek watershed.

Don't give up hope! We're still working behind the scenes. In the meanwhile, please send David Coon, Greg Nelson, and the COM Trustees emails with your individual concerns. They need to keep hearing from the community!

David Coon, President: dcoon@marin.edu
Board of Trustees: ​http://profiles.marin.edu/profiles/Board-of-Trustees

Our petition is over 800 strong! Keep spreading the word. This thing isn't over yet!
