Preserving the future of the Ridgefield Waterfront
Partner with is in our commitment to safeguarding and enhancing the natural beauty and community spirit of the Ridgefield waterfront against irresponsible, harmful and unnecessary development plans.
Our core principles
Our efforts are guided by fundamental principles that ensure the long-term health and vitality of our community and environment. We believe in responsible growth that has the best interests of Ridgefield and its residents in mind.
Protecting Wildlife in our Community
The Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge and Waterfront are home to vital habitats. Overdevelopment puts high stress on the ecosystems that thrive in these areas and threatens the wildlife and the natural beauty that make Ridgefield special.
Conserving Our Resources
Ridgefield's rapid growth has already strained the city's limited aquifer capacity resulting in residents being asked to not wash their cars at home and only water their lawns on certain days. How can we support adding dense housing before this problem has been solved?
Maintaining Safe Traffic Routes
The roads in Downtown Ridgefield are not designed for the high level of traffic that would be inflicted by this development plan. More vehicles mean congestion on the roadways, traffic delays, a potential increase in traffic accidents, and damage to neighborhoods.
Upholding The Ridgefield Spirit
High-density development will change the character of our town, strain public services, and impact our quality of life. Not just for today's generation, but for generations to come. We love Ridgefield for who it is today, not for how it could compare to high traffic cities such as Vancouver.
