Fate of vacant Georgetown site hangs in balance as city, owner begin talks
FAIRFIELD There is a battle of sorts brewing that pits a private developer and affordable housing advocates against the city of Fairfield, with Travis Air Force Base caught in the middle.
The focus is the fate of the George Town Village former base housing, vacant for a decade just outside the base’s North Gate and best known simply as Georgetown.
The owner of the site, Hunt Development Group, and a coalition of affordable housing advocates want to convert the nearly 300 units there into affordable housing, with some of the units set aside for veterans.
