Tam Junction

In early 2025, the Marin County Board of Supervisors made Community and Economic Vitality one of their six priorities, with a focus on supporting a strong, diverse local economy.  The Tam Junction and Manzanita areas combine to create a commercial hub in the unincorporated area of Mill Valley and are an important element of Marin’s economy, particularly to the Tamalpais Valley community.  

The study’s purpose is to create a thriving, vibrant, and sustainable Tam Junction. The study will address community priorities around issues like community vitality, safety, circulation and access, and resiliency. . The County will work with an outside agency to  design a hands-on community engagement process so residents, businesses, and other stakeholders can share ideas and work together to ensure a sustainable, equitable, and vibrant Tam Junction. 

Staff will announce future tabling event dates and locations in Tam Junction so you can drop by, talk more about your ideas, or ask questions. Stay tuned!
