Community Action Alert
There is a rumor that the Novato City Council will be hearing a presentation from a developer on August 23, 2022 - brought forward by Adam McGill, City Manager, to turn this beautiful, historical site into a housing project. This initiative is not what our community wants. In a community of 850 homes, we have over 650 pledges to renovate the Hamilton Theater. Let's not let this happen. Stay tuned on City Council Meeting Website. All concerned citizens are welcome: hamiltonartsfoundation@gmail.com | 415.717.4466 | Contact Us page.
