Big changes coming to Buellton - Santa Barbara News-Press

Good morning, Santa Barbara ☀️

Here’s what we have for you today:

Are major changes coming to Buellton? Tom Schultz digs into a major proposal for a popular spot of the booming city.
Can Valerie Amparan oust Rose Muñoz from the Santa Barbara Unified School Board of education? Julianna Lozada talks with the candidate.
The 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the U.S. Pentagon is Friday. Nearly 3,000 people died that day and so many of us were permanently scarred by watching the planes hit the Twin Towers.
We at the News-Press want to hear your memories and thoughts on the tragic event. Where were you? How were you impacted? What were you doing that day? How has the nation changed since the event? Let us know your reflections and we will publish them in our News-Press Voices section. Email us here.
We’re also planning our own news coverage of the event later this week and on the actual anniversary on Friday.
