My grandfather spent his life working those veins and seeing the park threatened hits me deep in my gut. We need to hit that thousand mark to show the subcommittee that people are still watching their next move. Please send this link to your neighbors so we can get this number over the edge today.

My grandfather spent his entire career working in those mines and I refuse to watch the state auction off our history. We are nearing one hundred signatures and I need everyone to send the link to three people right now so we can hit that mark before the subcommittee meets again.

Outstanding historic collection of buildings and mining artifacts, excellent educational exhibits and programs, highly popular trail system, international interest and visitation -- and you are thinking of selling it? Not an honorable solution. There's a better way.
to sell this part and put it in private hands would be a travesty! I walk and ride my horse in this park at least two to three times a week and everybody can do it for free.. It is the People's Park. It is part of our common interests.
This site has connections to other historical sites all over the world. I will never forget visiting a Victorian mansion in Ireland and finding out it was built for the daughter of one of the owners when she married an Irishman!
Why isn't Newmont paying for the remediation as they retained the mineral rights and should have requisite responsibility. The leaching is from mining activity, not activities of the State Park. Taxpayers are shouldering the clean up costs..
This is a critical sale for the city of Grass Valley, this is the area of town that connects Downtown Grass Valley to the Cedar ridge area. If sold this land will most definitely go to big developers and corporations. No! to the Empire Mine sale!!!

My family and I have visited this park since I was 5 years old. It was the first place I thought of for my wedding. All of our guests were in awe that we were able to get married in such a magical place. Please don't take this away from our community!!
