Yesterday, the Leadership Tomorrow crew was certainly on the move….Newport Banning Ranch hosted a behind the scenes perspective of a proposed new development in Newport Beach that is facing controversy from community members concerned with the impact of this new project. Like Banning Ranch, the redevelopment of Irvine Business Complex also met with controversy with its conversion from business and industrial properties to high rise urban dwellings. The class spent the afternoon at one of these properties, Central Park West in Irvine.
The class heard from a housing panel with speakers representing developers and speakers discussing today’s housing market, following the housing panel, speakers will address the successes and challenges of providing affordable housing in Orange County.
