Wednesday Workshop: What Kind of Homes Does Walnut Creek Need?

A roundtable discussion on Walnut Creek's future housing needs will be discussed Wednesday at City Hall.

Over the next ten years or so, should Walnut Creek focus on building more high-end homes? Or should there be a focus on middle and lower-income dwellings? What is the right balance that will meet the needs of current residents and businesses, and those anticipated to arrive in the future? 

Those are the questions being asked at a workshop Wednesday, Sept. 4 at City Hall from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. as city officials begin soliciting opinions from developers, citizens and others regarding Walnut Creek's housing needs.

All this is in the name of updating the Housing Element, a document required by the state that outlines the city's plan to provide a mix of high, moderate and low income housing through the years 2015-2022.
