Slimmed-down DISC proposal likely headed back to ballot
Shares
The developers behind the Davis Innovation & Sustainability Campus, which voters turned down under a Measure J/R vote last fall, are back with a slimmed-down proposal they hope to place on the June 2022 ballot.
Dubbed “DISC 2022,” the new project would feature 63 percent less office, research and development, and laboratory space and 460 residential units instead of the 850 contained in the original DISC plan. Total acreage of the new proposal is about half of the original plan, with only the southern portion of the plot east of Mace Boulevard and north of I-80 proposed for development.

Local artist and community organizer, Kate Mellon-Anibaba, installed portraits of Floyd and two other Black men who had recently been killed by police, and other community members quickly added flowers, posters and more artwork.
