Alameda Point Lease Revenues – in the City’s Own Words
Lauren Do has more on lease revenues at the former Navy base and how they are not keeping up with maintenance costs…this straight from City reports. You can read Lauren’s post here.
The City of Alameda should be a place where families can raise their children and enjoy our beautiful scenery along the San Francisco Bay. But an enormous piece of our island is off limits because it is a toxic mess. After more than 100 years of military and industrial use, Alameda Point sits in decay and disrepair. We believe that it is our responsibility to clean up Alameda Point to make way for outdoor recreation, schools and housing. We support the plan to revitalize Alameda Point because doing nothing is no longer an option.
We Support
- Cleaning up the Toxic Mess Once and for All
- Open Space and Recreation
- Civic Amenities
- Jobs
- Homes
