About Us
Livermore First was formed in June 2006 by a group of concerned neighbors and community leaders after we learned of the proposed Wal Mart Supercenter. We are a coalition of individuals and organizations working together to preserve the integrity and character of our city. We want to empower the community through a collaborative effort to impact appropriate planning in the city of Livermore.
We live and work in Livermore because of the high quality of life. While we understand that development is inevitable, we believe that it must be consistent with the existing neighborhoods, supportive of other businesses, and that every resident should have a voice in the local land use planning process. We want to ensure that accurate information is provided regarding the impact of proposed major retail development and that the public has an active role in community decision making. We want to advise Livermore’s political leaders of the community’s desires and concerns regarding planning and growth issues.
We believe that the homeowners, taxpayers, and residents of Livermore come first and that out of town developers and out of town corporate retailers come second.
