The City of Alameda announced late last week that the Office of Economic Adjustment under the Department of Defense has awarded the City of Alameda $225,000 to prepare a detailed economic development strategy for Alameda Point. Also, on October 5th, Alameda City Council, sitting as the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) will vote on a term sheet between the U.S. Navy and the City to transfer Alameda Point to ARRA at no cost. Update, August 31st, 2:30 p.m. – Dennis Pagones, President of Harbor Bay Realty contacted Action Alameda News to discuss. “It’s [who's behind the site] a mystery to me,” he said. “Our office has been overwhelmingly in support of having the Labs come to Alameda. Our Information Technology guy is coming in and will take a look at it. Nobody in my office has come to me and said I can’t support LBNL coming to Alameda.” “Ron [Cowan] was very distressed about this. He’s been very supportive of the Berkeley Lab.” Developer Ron Cowan is a part owner of Harbor Bay Realty. Mr. Pagones also said that he can’t think of anyone that would try to hurt Harbor Bay Realty by falsely associating the firm with the website. He also offered to have Steve Sorensen talk with Action Alameda News on his return later in the week. Since Action Alameda News went to press with the story today, the references to Harbor Bay Realty and Steve Sorensen have been removed from the website. “The City of Alameda is Dysfunctional…and is unfit to bid for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories” – so reads the opening text to the website Unfit Alameda that has aggregated a number of news stories related to Alameda, and urges readers to call University of California regents and tell them there are better options for Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. Roughly 200 people showed up last night for a breezy City-sponsored BBQ at Alameda Point intended to show public support for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to select Alameda Point as the location for its second campus. Earlier this week, the City of Alamada announced that the City’s proposed site at Alameda Point was one of the finalists for a second campus for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Dear Editor, I really hope the City aggressively pursues bringing the Lawrence Berkeley Lab 2nd Campus to Alameda Point. There is an RFQ that seeks almost exactly what the Point has to offer. |
