Excerpt:

Facing uncertainty at Alameda Point and what they called blight along much of the Island’s waterfront, the City Council has agreed to consider a sweeping, new strategy for attracting business in those areas.

Interim City manager Ann Marie Gallant said city staff could put together a draft plan over the next few months for the council and the public to consider.

City Councilman Frank Matarrese, who asked his fellow dais-mates to consider a new plan, has proposed longer-term leases at Alameda Point in an effort to build a business base there, and intensified efforts to build on existing industries there and along the waterfront.
