LIVERMORE â A project proposed for the Downtown Core will go before the council next week in a meeting that could span more than one day.
Livermore Mayor Bob Woerner said at a recent council session that the May 24 hearing for Eden Housing â the 130-unit, four-story affordable housing project proposed for the cityâs downtown core â could take more than one day due to the anticipated number of public speakers.Â
The housing complex has seen its share of controversy within the community. Those who support it want the housing now; those who oppose the plans want the housing moved across the street to enable a park on the vacated land and create more units on the new location.
