The plan? Transform it into a massive mixed-use community with up to 4,000 homes and 10,000 new residents, helping the city meet ambitious state housing targets. Nearly 2,300 units — including 40% reserved for low-income families — will be built, balanced by market-rate housing to make the project financially viable. Beyond housing, the state is repurposing 15 acres for an emergency operations center already under construction. This isn’t just development — it’s a critical step toward affordability, with officials noting even city staff can’t afford local living costs. Once approved, the state will select a developer, but don’t expect construction anytime soon: the entire project could take over a decade to complete.
