City awards GHD contract for CEQA review of Happy Valley redevelopment site
Summary
The council approved awarding a contract to GHD Inc. to perform environmental review and CEQA compliance for the Happy Valley site (APN 507-081-038); council referenced the city's redevelopment history of the parcel and discussed cooperating taxing-entity reinvestment.
Community Development Director David Loya reviewed the long history of the Happy Valley property, which the city acquired to redevelop as a business park and has carried through the redevelopment dissolution and reinvestment process. Loya recommended contracting GHD Inc. to provide environmental review and CEQA compliance services for future development of the site, identifying APN 507‑081‑038 as the parcel in question.
Council moved to award the contract and after clarifying the final dollar figure on the record the motion passed. Councilmembers framed the award as a practical step toward advancing a long‑planned economic development project and noted that earlier agreements with local taxing entities included partial reinvestment into the site's redevelopment.
