S.F. supes approve Hunters Point redevelopment
San Francisco supervisors ended more than a decade of hope and controversy Tuesday when they overwhelmingly approved a project to transform the abandoned Hunters Point Naval Shipyard into a new waterfront community of homes, businesses and green technology.
The 702-acre project on a base closed in 1974 calls for 10,500 residential units, along with 320 acres of parks and open space. There also are plans for retail and entertainment facilities, as well as commercial space designed for green technology endeavors. The plan also includes a new stadium for the 49ers, should the team decide to remain in San Francisco.
