Public speakers urge Vallejo council to lease waterfront space to Vallejo Cellars
Summary
At a Vallejo City Council special meeting, three in-person commenters urged the council to lease 285 Mare Island Way to Vallejo Cellars for wine tastings, nonprofit events and a cultural center; the council adjourned into closed session to discuss the lease and other litigation and labor items.
Kevin Jones, owner of Vallejo Cellars, asked the Vallejo City Council on Monday evening to lease the waterfront property at 285 Mare Island Way to house wine tastings, nonprofit events and a cultural, arts and culinary space.
"We want to use a space for a variety of things, including the wine tasting for Vallejo Cellars wine," Jones said during the public-comment period aimed at the meeting's closed-session items. He told the council he works with "about 7 to 8 different nonprofit organizations" and described plans to create a welcoming center that highlights the city's diverse cultures and connects ferry riders to local businesses.
