Mayor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement following the Board of Supervisors’ approval of the Hunters Point Shipyard Phase II – Candlestick Point Redevelopment project:
“This is a proud and historic day for all San Francisco and for all who have worked for years to achieve this milestone,” said Mayor Newsom. “After more than a decade of exhaustive planning, extensive cleanup and hundreds of public hearings, together we have secured a critical engine for our City’s economic future and embraced a new vision of jobs, housing and hope for the Bayview-Hunters Point community. Now we can truly begin the work of transforming an environmental blight into a new center of thousands of permanent and construction jobs, green technology investment, affordable housing and parks for our City. I want to recognize Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, Southeast community leaders and Michael Cohen and the staff of the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development for their incredible efforts and tireless commitment that brought us to this achievement.” Read More...
