Questions & Answers
1. Should Fremont require community benefits from developers in the Warm Springs BART area? Why or why not?
In our Warm Springs Innovation District, several of the project's major developers have made an agreement with the Fremont Unified School District to provide a brand new elementary school. They will also be providing much needed upgrades to Walters Junior High School and Kennedy High School.
We need to develop new strategies that will give future developers an incentive follow that example.
Having worked as the School Resource Officer at Washington High School for 9 years, as well as my children having attended Fremont schools, I am well aware of the issues that our school district faces. We are in desperate need of new facilities, as well as updates to existing facilities. Our schools are at their maximum limits and new residents have to travel long distances for available class space.
I would also like to offer developers the opportunity to become more invested in our community by providing open spaces, improving street systems around the developments, and offering incentives to first time buyers. With this area employing upwards of ten thousand new employees, an incentive to "live where you work" would beneficial to the community.
