SUCCESS! SMART REUSE OF CONCORD NAVAL WEAPONS STATION
In January, the Concord City Council adopted the preferred alternative for the reuse of the former Naval Weapons Station. Greenbelt Alliance and our allies in the coalition successfully influenced the plan to include homes, offices, and retail near the BART station and clustered villages in the development farther away from BART and the elimination of nearly all of the development east of Mount Diablo Creek, a critical habitat area.
The next steps are for the Navy to start its environmental review and for the City Council to amend the city’s General Plan to include the plan for the base as well as conduct additional environmental review of the plan.
Please visit the Concord campaign page to see meeting dates and times under "What You Can Do."
If you have any questions or want to get more involved, please contact Christina Wong, the East Bay Field Representative, at (925) 932-7776 or at cwong@greenbelt.org. Thank you for your support!
