Monte Rio Community Alliance provides outreach by attending meetings, by encouraging communication on Nextdoor, and through our website, Facebook, and local monthly columns in the Sonoma County Gazette. We are all unpaid volunteers.
We are a member of the larger umbrella organization, The Russian River Alliance, which is dedicated to sharing ideas and enhancing the quality of life for residents, businesses, and tourists. As an unincorporated area, the Alliances serve as one unified voice with our County to address local issues of concern such as air quality, blight remediation, vagrancy and crime, fires, lack of support for our businesses, working families struggling to remain here, homeless issues, infrastructure/road improvements, low flow, and lack of wastewater solutions. The Alliances have made progress on these fronts and are strengthening our neighborhoods and commercial corridors.
We attempt to change the paradigm on what expectations our communities can have, and what can be accomplished in a timely manner.
For Monte Rio, the next largest investment in time and energy is handling our Wastewater Solutions. This debate has been ongoing for well over a decade. It’s time to implement solutions so our water quality is good, our beaches remain open, our tourists keep coming, and so we can bring our commercial corridors and housing stock back to life. Monte Rio and the Lower Russian River areas are truly unique. We want to invest in our communities and bring them back to their former greatness emphasizing safe, welcoming, and thriving neighborhoods.
Please contact us with your suggestions, concerns, and if you have the time or means, your tax-deductible donations or volunteerism. Join us as a member to make a difference in Monte Rio!
