STARTER April meeting: Daggett Triangle Development

You are no doubt familiar with the empty plot of land at the corner of 16th and 7th Streets. The street that cuts diagonally through that plot is Daggett Street, thus Daggett Triangle. Daggett Street is slated to become a green swath through the new development, which will consist of several hundred apartments, several 10s of 1000s of feet of industrial/commercial space including a restaurant and several hundred parking spaces. The site, which has been under development for several years, has recently been sold. Come take a look at current plans and ask all your questions at our April meeting. Organic Sonoma Greens
