KQED: Six Bay Area Cities Play the Waiting Game, January 13, 2012

[Includes audio report]

Excerpt:

This month may be the moment of truth for six Bay Area communities. Each one is vying to be the new home of a high-profile national research center. But when it comes to development in the Bay Area, there are no easy answers.

Oakland, Alameda, and Berkeley, Emeryville, Albany, and Richmond are the six cities in the running for what you might call the 2012 Cadillac of Bay Area Development Projects: A new, second campus for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Alameda Times Star: Berkeley lab cites sea levels as concern for possible Alameda campus, September 22, 2011

Excerpt:

The projected rise in sea levels over the coming decades due to climate change has prompted officials with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to express concern that locating a second campus at Alameda Point could make it vulnerable to flooding. Alameda officials, however, say they are confident the site they offer will be safe.

The cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and Richmond, as well as Golden Gate Fields -- which spans Berkeley and Albany -- are all under consideration for the new campus.

Alameda Journal: Alameda planners look at projected rise in sea levels, July 29, 2011

Excerpt:

With climate change projected to cause San Francisco Bay to rise more than 18 inches over the next 50 years, Alameda as an island could be especially vulnerable to flooding unless steps are taken to literally hold back the tide, local officials say.

The restoration of wetlands and the construction of levies and dikes will likely be among the ways used to prevent water cresting the shoreline, especially as the redevelopment of Alameda Point moves ahead.
