OAKLAND ATHLETICS $12 BILLION WATERFRONT BALLPARK MOVES FORWARD

A California agency has cleared the way for the Oakland Athletics to continue planning their $12 billion waterfront ballpark project. The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission voted 23-2 to reclassify a 56-acre terminal at the Port of Oakland as a mixed-use area where a new ballpark could be built. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said the approval moved the city closer to bringing “this bold vision into a beautiful reality and keep our A’s rooted in Oakland for generations to come.”
