I am writing in support of the Malibu Farmers Market. (The name says it all really … It’s Malibu’s Farmers Market!) I understand, for some time now, it has had to endure months of stress, with the threat of not being able to operate due to demolition and construction going on at the site the market has operated in for nearly 20 years.
I would hope that by now the City of Malibu and LA County should realize just how valuable this market is for the community and what an icon it has become for the City of Malibu. I sincerely hope everyone can show true and honorable support for the market, a local endeavor that gives back to the city and is enjoyed by thousands of locals and tourists alike.
I also understand the county had confirmed the market would be allowed to run as normal during the demolition and construction process—I hope this was not just a false promise?
We all hope everyone’s efforts of support will not go unnoticed and the outcome will be positive for all.
