SAN DIEGO – Today, Rep. Scott Peters (CA-50) issued the following statement after again urging Navy leaders to prioritize affordable housing in the redevelopment of Naval Base Point Loma’s Old Town Campus (OTC) in a letter led by Rep. Peters and signed by Reps. Sara Jacobs (CA-51), Juan Vargas (CA-52) and Mike Levin (CA-49):

“My colleagues and I know that high housing costs throughout San Diego County hurt our constituents and hinder their life prospects,” said Rep. Peters. “We wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we didn’t recognize this opportunity within the OTC redevelopment and voice our support for housing plans that are embraced by the local community. We stand ready to partner with the Navy to maximize this land’s potential in a way that best achieves the Navy’s needs and serves San Diego.”
