"It's official—a McKean Road sports complex is not happening."
Read the Almaden Resident's story:

The issue currently in the forefront of SAVRA's attention is the premature development of the South Almaden Valley Urban Reserve in the form of the proposed McKean Road Sports Complex.

  • Water supply and water quality
  • Public safety
