Brookfield Properties, the master developer for the Concord Naval Weapons Station (CNWS) Base Reuse Project, will be hosting a Parks and Open Space Community Workshop on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Are you interested in learning more about the CNWS development project and the planning process for parks and open space? Do you want to share feedback about what features and activities you would like to see throughout the project site’s parks and open space? RSVP today and join the team for this engaging presentation.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Centre Concord Ballroom, 5298 Clayton Rd.
I think this has been many, many times over the years.
Will they still be the developer on that date? Just sayin’.
Parks and space are wonderful. OK. Sewer and drain (Central San) adequacy… Arterial roads, bridges… existing access around the neighborhoods….??? that’s a different story. Will someone explain to me why CURRENT residents are being forced to pay TODAY for Roadway upgrades before the big trucks come to destroy it — and for Central San build-out-and-up expansion to the Base for FUTURE new-home-owners?
I didn’t like the idea of Florida’s (cheap product) Lennar visions, but part of their ‘deal’ was pretty much ‘all inclusive’ if I remember correctly. And current residents would benefit from their arterial road, bridge and sewer upgrades.
I am very lucky, property tax wise, because I’ve been here, in a very old very small house, for a very long time….
But now, my SEWER bill is damn near equal to all the rest of my property tax!
My one person, small house sewer fee is the same as a 4,000 sq ft with 5-6 or more “flushers.”
That’s robbery!
Central San charges Concord based on the amount of water/waste used. Concord does not pass on the expense — based on usage.
It is now criminal to also have to pay for Base build-out that will benefit me exactly ZERO.
((Don’t get me started again on the SIDEWALK issue!))
Homeless safe parks would be nice showers cooling center and a soup kitchen and open space
I could agree to a dedicated couple hundred acres for a “If You Don’t Work ~ You Don’t Eat” Self-sufficiency Farm with a military supplied Quonset hut village. Education, clinic, laundry and sober facilities at the core. You start out in Dorms and earn your way up to a single Quonset. Bank points to earn taxpayer and farm proceed money for a “move-on-out move-on-up” Good Luck bonus . Goodness knows we have paid for enough college educated social workers who can’t find jobs to run the place.
They used to call them Poor Farms (after the Great Depression) Not ideal, maybe. but certainly better than a tent on a corner. There’s pride work. No pride in begging or stealing.
They need time for recovery and look for a job to return to a normal life -NOT SLAVERY. Forced work IS slavery.
Now you’re just being silly! I’ve been forced to work for many years to put food on the table and keep a roof over my family’s head. It’s called life.
A huge marijuana grow operation is what it should be used for, it would bring hundreds of millions of $$$ in to the state.
Unfortunately democrats slapped fees on legal growers and taxes on sellers of legal weed which created a huge incentive for illegal grows and sales. Law enforcement costs went way up trying to stop illegal Pot.
@original
In a few months dumboctats will no longer have control of much of anything.
There’s no longer any curiosity why the Democrats have always had a jackass for a mascot
EPA should do soil samples throughout the property especially on top of the hill by Bailey road and the space that backs up to Concord high School Concord high school
hundreds of reinforced storage bunkers, hundreds of miles of rail track, dozens of structures, there is even a building out there that still houses a x-ray machine that was used on rail cars…..this will never get done
All the community workshops, public input, and similar sorts of nonsense are nothing more than a dog and pony show to convince the public that their input is valuable.
The decisions have been made, money has changed hands, and any public input will be ignored.
The taxpayers, and citizens of the community, have no say.
The city has owned that land for years now. Why have they not improved Willow Pass Road where that dangerous bridge is? Fix the roads, THEN talk about what kind of parks and open spaces you want to put in there.
No CNWS land has been turned over to the City of Concord yet. Concord has been granted access to some parts to start preparing for taking control of some land. Who pays for what roadway improvements is what is being negotiated over the next 2-4 years so not too late to make sure City Council knows you won’t vote for them if they don’t advocate for taxpayers and Concord residents in this deal.
What Hope Said! AND
Any roadway work done now will have to be repaired one-or-more times during any build-out of that base. If current residents spend a cent changing Willow Pass now–FULL REPAIR / REPLACE costs should be written into any binding agreement with Brookfield or any future builders.
Concord Naval Weapons station property is a Superfund site. Not sure who’s going to clean it up when all this development takes place but I’d be very concerned if I lived near the property if and when construction starts. Gonna be lots of bad stuff flying through the air. Anyone using a well better keep checking their water. Here is a link to a site that lists all of the contaminants located on the site:

Cancel everything, leave it as open space and bring back the ELK.
I want roads built before anything else.
We need at least one road connecting Highway 4 with Kirker Pass.
If you go, be sure to wear a lead radioactivity deflecting suit with a level A Haz Mat suit over the top of it.
Still pretending this will ever happen is the joke here. How much has edi gotten from Brookfield? Our rotating city council is a big problem. The US government will never turn over this land. Someone should tell Brookfield what Seeno found out.
