Funds Sought for Legal Challenge to Storage Use at Westminster Center

Venice Stakeholders is looking to raise $5,000 to retain legal counsel to oppose the conversion of the Westminister Center to storage and keep alive the prospect of other uses such as a Venice Historical Museum and/or an office for park rangers for the Venice Beach Recreation Area and policing other parks in Venice. Contributions, which are tax deductible, can be made by PayPal to venicestakerholders@ca.rr.com or sent to VSA c/o 1615 Andalusia Avenue, Venice, CA. All donations will be used for legal research, and opposing the storage use, such as challenging the facility's change of use from recreation to a non-recreation use and application for a project permit under the Venice Local Coastal Specific Plan.

UPDATE:  We have now raised $750 towards the $5,000 needed to retain legal counsel.  In  the meantime our attorneys are reviewing legal challenges as a courtesy.
