EOSA Statement on Final Release of EIP for Howard Terminal Real Estate Development

EOSA

Despite the numerous challenges this project presents for the maritime and West Oakland communities, the City has made zero progress on Seaport Compatibility Measures or a Community Benefits Agreement, both of which are required prior to project approval. Until these items are presented to the public for review, in addition to a thoroughly-vetted financial plan, the City and County cannot in good faith make judgments about whether this project is worth the numerous costs to our taxpayers and community.
 
“We ultimately anticipate the FEIR will confirm what we already know: the A’s and the City are simply not interested in funding the significant investments necessary to prevent this project’s disruption to the Port of Oakland’s supply chain or address its significant negative impacts to West Oakland and the environment.”
