San Mateo County will improve Princeton by the Sea

Will our city improve?  Princeton will.  Maybe the need to develop areas of  Pacifica will just go away if  we continue to chant "our environment is our economy"..."our environment is our economy"... 

Half Moon Bay Review/Mark Noack, 5/24/12. "County meets to discuss Princeton facelift."

Princeton by the Sea Harbor

'No one argues that Princeton faces problems, but finding the right solution for the community was the big debate at a Wednesday night Midcoast Community Council meeting.

But what exactly this forthcoming plan will mean for Princeton remains to be seen. As they begin drafting a new master plan for the area, county officials say their priorities are to protect the longstanding fishing roots of the area while creating more opportunities for coastal recreation and new businesses. The new plans would also clamp down on the blight and crime problems associated with the commercial storage yards in the area.

This would all be accomplished by updating the area’s zoning maps and establishing a new set of local policies, said Steve Monowitz, deputy planning director.

Monowitz said he would seek funding for the studies in July, with the goal to produce full-scale plans by 2014."  Read Article.
