Show Notes

In the ongoing evolution of the housing project slated for the site of the former La Puerta school, many aspects have changed, some several times.  Eric Nelson, Vice President of Community Development at Trumark Homes, has been collaborating with Claremont's schools, city staff, residents and other stakeholders for over three years, aiming to get a project most everyone will like and approve to construct.  Eric was previously a guest on Claremont Speaks (April of 2021,  Click here to listen)   

Eric has returned to Claremont Speaks to provide updates on the project's evolution, clarify the current status (May, 2023) and de-bunk some of the misinformation surrounding the project.  He then provides a look at the different directions the project may take in the future, given Trumark's stated intent to file a supplemental building application under a provision of Senate Bill 330, which guarantees expedited approval if the developer sets aside 20% of the new units for low income buyers.  Although Mr. Nelson describes this as a "bookmark", he elaborates on why it is not Trumark's preferred option.

For anyone affected by this project - whether neighbors, prospective home-buyers, or those concerned about the funding to the Claremont School District, Eric Nelson's insight into the project and what they are aiming to do for the community should be on your "required listening" list of podcasts.  And don't hesitate to take Mr. Nelson up on his invitation to contact him regarding project-related questions and concerns.
