Help Save Connolly Shopping Center
A developer is proposing to convert the commercial center into a residential development, according to community group Shape Our Fremont.
Submitted by Shape Our Fremont:
Do you want to save the Connolly Center with Bob's Giant Burgers, Kelly Moore Paints and others from being demolished and replaced by 92 residences?
Attend the Jan. 14 City Council meeting to express your concerns.
The Connolly Center (Fremont Blvd.) and the Chapel Business Center (Chapel Way) are currently designated as Commercial and the developer wants to change that to Residential. The Warmington developer wants to build 44 townhomes, 10 work/live units and 38 condominiums on the combined properties of these two centers.

It is claimed that these two Irvington business centers are no longer commercially viable and should be "pruned" to help the remaining centers thrive and to provide medium density housing to meet the City's State housing quota.
Go to the meeting and speak - even if all you say is "I do not want to lose these stores!"
