SUBJECT: RECEIVE UPDATE ON THE CONCORD COMMUNITY REUSE PROJECT
On March 24, 2020, the Concord City Council denied a request from Lennar Concord, LLC, the master
developer of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station, to extend its Development Agreement, which
was set to expire on March 31, 2020. Lennar's performance in labor agreement negotiations was at odds
with the labor unions and Building Construction Trades Council to meet the terms of the Development
Agreement for prevailing wages.
An inquiry to the Concord Senior Planner responsible for the Reuse Project indicated, "We have not had
any team meetings here since March regarding the base, as we closed things out with Lennar, but we
are aiming to have a new plan formoving forward as we move into the fall."Staff will provide updates to
the Real Estate, Environmental and Planning Committee after Concord formulates its plan of selecting a
new master developer.
