Dear Downtown Stakeholders:
We wanted you to be aware of three upcoming meetings re two key projects in the Downtown: 2211 Harold Way (Residences at Berkeley Plaza), and the new hotel project (at current Bank of America site). It is important that commissioners hear your support, opposition, questions, or concerns for these two projects that are part of the Downtown Area Plan that was approved by voters by 64% in 2010, and 74% in 2014.
