Will NIMBYs Prevent new Surfing Heritage Museum?

Global Surf News reports,

The City of Dana Point has been holding town hall meetings regarding the proposed Sea Terrace Park location for the future home of the Surfing Heritage Foundation.

After two years of meetings with local residents and city staff to help form an acceptable plan and several city council meetings later, the city formed a Surfing Heritage Museum Task Force to examine the matter and clear up public misconceptions regarding the proposed site.

The Task Force, which held several workshop meetings, is concluding its work by holding Town Hall meetings to present their findings, and was hoping to hear additional comments from a broader spectrum of city residents and the public.

The last Town Hall meeting was held on March 11, at the Ocean Institute and it was attended by approximately 50 people, all demonstrating or speaking against the proposed Sea Terrace Park museum location. Interestingly, all were residents living next door to the proposed park, most from Niguel Shores. We had worked hard to incorporate their previous concerns and did modify the proposed plans in hope of gaining their approval.
