Concord Ready to Fight Navy

The 8/8/96 San Francisco Chronicle has an article "Concord Ready to Fight Navy". Neighbors of the Concord Naval Weapons Station are protesting plans to build a large warehouse across the street from a children's amusement park. They weren't notified ahead of time, and only found out about the plans from a newspaper story a month ago. People jammed a Concord city council meeting, and over 400 people have signed petitions against the plan. Dana Claire, a board member of the Holbrook Heights Community Association opposes the plan.

The Navy said their failure to notify neighbors was just "a regrettable oversight" and agreed to extend a public comment period on the plan through Monday - a whopping four days from the newspaper article!
