Late Oakland Howard Terminal EIFD Plan Includes $2.5 Billion Subsidy

Late Oakland Howard Terminal EIFD Plan Includes $2.5 Billion Subsidy
Late Oakland Howard Terminal EIFD Plan Includes $2.5 Billion Subsidy A draft report Zennie62Media found in the database of The Athletic Online Sports Publication and dated April 2023, reported that the City of Oakland had a plan for a $2.5 billion subsidy for the Howard Terminal Ballpark Project. The report is far different from the original document presented to the County of Alameda and which presented a $400 million tax increment financing subsidy. Both reports were prepared by Century Urban, the consultant to the City of Oakland. In 2021, Zennie62Media blasted the initial report as incorrect and understating the potential tax increment revenue. Neither the City of Oakland nor the consultant directly answered questions from Zennie62Media. But then Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf told this blogger, Zennie Abraham, Zennie62Media CEO that the City did not have the staff to do the redevelopment work done before the original law was eliminated in 2011. This blogger pushed back on that questioning why Mayor Schaaf had consultants plan and then worked with Oakland A’s President Dave Kaval on an idea that was originally from this blogger to do a tax increment financing zone at Howard Terminal. The City never addressed that question. But it’s clear the City of Oakland had Century Urban redo the work after Zennie62Media issued a number of scathing vlogs and articles on the subject that included detailed spreadsheets and calculations. But all of this was obviously too late for the Oakland A’s timetable. They already decided to move to Las Vegas in November of 2021. Stay tuned for updates.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
