The massive housing development at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station has cleared a key regulatory hurdle, moving closer to construction. - The Concord City Council approved the environmental impact report and specific plan for the first phase, which includes about 2,000 homes.
- The overall project aims to build 12,000 to 13,000 housing units, including affordable housing, plus commercial and retail space. - Construction is expected to begin in 2028, with the project creating thousands of jobs.
- The development addresses the Bay Area housing shortage but has faced opposition over traffic and environmental concerns.
