Saugus Resident Issues Call to Action for Supporters of Newhall Hardware

This article came in as a comment on another post, but I feel that it needs to be bumped up to the front page for visibility.

Keith Dillin, a Saugus resident, is asking Santa Clarita residents to fill the next Santa Clarita City Council meeting (slated for Tuesday, February 12 at 6pm) with "hundreds of Newhall Hardware supporters" to protest the closing of that landmark store. Many, including Keith, are at least partially blaming the City for forcing the closure of Newhall Hardware, and they want the City to set things right in regards to the Newhall Redevelopment efforts and how they’re affecting existing businesses in that area.

Your feelings about Newhall Hardware are shared by thousands of us. I don’t blame the city entirely on the tentative closure of the store but they sure didn’t help matters.

We are now asking the city to come through with a plan to save Newhall Hardware, sighting the historic and convenience values it brings to the community.

Please have your readers call and e-mail city hall at (661) 255-4395 bkellar@santa-clarita.com.

They may also attend the CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING, Tuesday, February 12, 2008, 6:00 PM, at City Hall, 23920 Valencia Blvd., 1st Floor, and Santa Clarita. We are promising to fill the council chambers with hundreds of Newhall Hardware Supporters.
