Farmworker housing spotlight for controversy in Half Moon Bay
Recent callout from Gov. Gavin Newsom brings statewide attention to Planning Commission delay
May 10, 2024 Updated May 10, 2024
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Housing Accountability Unit will be one more interested party at next week’s Half Moon Bay Planning Commission meeting, where commissioners will deliberate — for the third time — on an affordable housing development for senior farmworkers.
A statement from Newsom said that the proposed 40-unit, five-story development, which would be located in the heart of the city’s downtown at 555 Kelly Ave., is “being stalled by local officials,” a delay he deemed “egregious” and said would be watched closely by the state.
