Dear Mayor Harmon and Councilmembers –
I’m a resident of San Luis Obispo. I’m a mom and I’m also a business owner.
As I know you hear a lot about, our community needs more housing and more affordable housing. We were lucky
enough to buy a home here, but I see too many young families moving to neighboring towns. Families that I would love
to see as my neighbors. Families whose kids, I’d like to see playing with my kids and on sports teams with my kids.
I’m also really excited to see the Agricultural Heritage Learning Center portion of this project. I’d love to see it come to
fruition sooner than later.
It’s not often that we get the opportunity to appreciate a working farm and all that goes into getting fresh food to our
families’ tables. Visiting the site at San Luis Ranch will provide our children with a valuable and fun learning experience.
Knowing where your food comes from is an important part of becoming more environmentally conscience and this is
something I want for my children.
Agriculture is also such an important part of our city’s past and I want my kids to know the roots of their city.
I can also say that I think this is a missing part of our community. As much as this city is very centered around the
outdoors, I don’t believe there is anywhere else we can go to get an education on agriculture specifically. Although Cal
Poly has an extensive agriculture program for its college students, I’m not aware of any piece that focuses on educating
our young kids.
I know that this will be a place my family will visit often. I believe other families will take advantage of this Center as a
place for quality family time. Our local schools and organizations will benefit by taking field trips and incorporating some
hands-on learning.
My family looks forward to visiting the Agriculture Heritage Learning Center, so I really hope you support this entire
project.
Best,
Jamie
