For reasons you have heard, it is important to stand against these influencing the current decision lest <br /> downtown feel the impact of waiting for things that are nowhere near reality. <br /> Thanks for considering these and for the service you all provide to the community, <br /> Vera Revelli <br /> CIVIC CENTER STATION COMMERCIAL LEASING <br /> 4725 1st St. - Suite 245, Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br /> VERAPCIVICCENTERSTATION.COM I 925.484.4725 I WWW.CIVICCENTERSTATION.COM <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> S <br /> 1 <br />
