Why hasn the redevelopment of the marina site started?
The slowdown in the economy appears to have stalled redevelopment of the site. Because of widespread adverse economic conditions, the State passed legislation to extend the entitlements of already-entitled projects for one year. This pushed the expiration date for the Marina project permits and entitlements to August 10, 2010. The State has subsequently approved another extension for two more years, so that the expiration date for the Marina project entitlements could be August 10, 2012. However, the City of San Rafael has yet to act on this new extension.
