The Alamedan: Democratic Club endorses Ezzy Ashcraft, Cambra after candidate forum, September 14, 2012

Oddie first asked the candidates to share their plans for redevelopment of Alameda Point “given the lack of redevelopment funding and infrastructure costs estimated to be in excess of $600 million.”

Ezzy Ashcraft wants to wrap up negotiations with the Navy before pursuing a combination of open space, residential and retail uses at the Point. She thinks that zoning flexibility will allow the city to avoid “being at the mercy of a master developer.”
