ALAMEDA, CALIF. October 22, 2009 — The Alameda Architectural Preservation Society (AAPS), a member-based community organization committed to the preservation of Alameda’s historic structures, today announced that its Board of Directors released a Position Statement on its opposition to SunCal Companies’ Alameda Point Revitalization Initiative.

“The Alameda Architectural Preservation Society’s Board of Directors firmly opposes the Revitalization Initiative. SunCal Companies Revitalization Initiative presents inherent uncertainties and inconsistencies that have not been addressed either publically or through outreach conducted by the AAPS,” said Nancy Hird, President of the AAPS Board of Directors. “It’s very important for Alameda citizens to know that this Revitalization Initiative threatens significant Alameda historic resources with unnecessary destruction and alteration of facilities and homes at Alameda Point.”
