New plans have been published for affordable senior housing and a new church space at 793 West Grand Avenue in West Oakland. The proposal would demolish several structures, including the existing church building owned by the project sponsor, Joshua Christian Church. Construction will span two phases, building 101 homes and community space.
The Oakland City Council will be meeting today at noon to decide if Howard Terminal should be on the ballot this November. If the measure passes, voters can decide if public funds should be used to pay for public infrastructure costs related to the project. The meeting comes days after the project passed a critical vote to allow the port land to be used for non-port-related development.
