CLIFTON —The Clifton Town Council is asking for the public’s help in shaping the future of tourism and recreation in the area.

The Town Council announced it will conduct a series of town halls, seeking the public’s input on best uses of the San Francisco River corridor.

“More people staying, and playing, in Clifton increases options for provision of goods, services, and other business ventures to provide quality jobs and underwrite municipal services,” Town Manager Rudy Perez wrote in an open letter to residents.

“By not acting, we run the risk of powerful forces generating wealth for primarily outside investors, providing mostly low-wage and seasonal employment for local people. These actions historically place unsustainable pressure on local resources and systems such as housing, transportation and the environment,” he continued.

It was also announced the Town of Clifton’s sesquicentennial celebration will coincide with the Colors of Copper Art Show and Chase Creek Fair, Nov. 4-5.

Vendors will be able to set up on the old Clifton High School football field, as well as along Coronado Boulevard from the football field to Chase Creek Street. Food trucks will locate in the soccer field parking lot, the American Legion parking lot and Al Fernandez Park.
