with Seeno Homes-owned Concord First Partners to develop one of the largest redevelopment projects in Bay Area history.The council will act in its official role as the designated Local Reuse Authority for the 2,275-acre future development on the city's northeast side. The site was originally 5,046 acres, 2,600 of which will become a new East Bay Regional Park named Thurgood Marshall Regional Park - Home of the Port of Chicago 50.
