Hunters Point redevelopment project gets national recognition
Posted By: jwildermuth ( Email ) | Nov 14 at 7:30 am
The local folks who have been fighting for more than a decade about the future of the Hunters Point shipyard redevelopment project have always known that it’s a big deal, but now they have national confirmation.
The $8 billion, 700-acre project has been selected as one of three “Transformative Investments in the United States” by the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution.
“San Francisco’s shipyard project is both physically and economically transformative for the Bay Area, and globally significant,” said Bruce Katz, a vice president of the public policy organization. “The effort is exceptional in its scale and scope by seamlessly integrating a new clean-tech innovation district and broader urban revitalization.”
