Protesters Rally Against Target

Before last night's city council meeting, residents from San Anselmo, Fairfax and San Rafael demonstrated their opposition to opening a Target.

Outside last night, a group of about 40 people rallied against the Target store proposed for the Shoreline Center.

The protesters said the Target would damage small independent business and jobs in the area. 

A community impact report, which the City Council asked for in December, will be released on Wednesday on the city's website. The report will detail the effects the corporate chain store will have on San Rafael and neighboring communities.
