Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan moves closer to approval
From today’s San Francisco Sentinel,
After over ten years, the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan moved one step closer to adoption at the Land Use and Economic Development Committee meeting on Wednesday afternoon.The $188 million plan will develop 1,437 acres of southeast San Francisco, said Tom Evans, lead planner from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The plan includes programs focused on affordable housing, local business development, and community improvement.
The committee approved the plan at its Wednesday meeting with an amendment that the tax increment that will fund the plan will not be used to fund a 49ers football stadium at Candlestick Park, Supervisor Sophie Maxwell said. The increment can only be used for affordable housing and public facilities.
The Budget and Finance Committee will hold a hearing regarding the plan next Wednesday meeting, Maxwell said.
The Chronicle is reporting that the full board will vote on the redevelopment on May 9th.
