OPDC seeks to mitigate impacts of development in order to protect the community.
While OPDC never sought a contribution, Wexford Science + Technology ultimately proposed a holistic, win-win agreement that would benefit the entire community. This agreement is unique in that the parties reached this compromise to resolve a legal dispute and does not represent OPDC providing carte blanche approval of the development.
OPDC is proud of this transparent, community-focused resolution to protracted litigation. OPDC’s priority is the residents of Oakland, especially those lower wealth individuals who can be left behind when development pressure raises prices in the neighborhood and squeezes people out of opportunity.
