The City of San Francisco is currently negotiating over the deposition of the property of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard

The Redevelopment Agency will control the development process with Lennar being chosen to become the master developer. Arc Ecology conducted a focus group to vet the terms of conveyance from a community perspective, so the resulting document would support the interests of the Bayview Hunters Point community. This was the first process of its kind in the country, in which Arc worked with the Mayor's office, the Office of Economic Development, the City Attorney's Office and the Supervisor representing the district.

These parties meet bi-weekly to discuss and plan the transfer of the property. Community members have assumed the highest level of public involvement in this approval process.

In March of 2003, Arc Ecology released The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Conveyance Agreement: A Summary from a Community Perspective. This summary was prepared by Eve Bach of our staff to assist community members, elected officials, and other interested members of the public in their understanding of the pros and cons of the proposed Conveyance Agreement that the City and the Navy have drafted. The full text of the Agreement is available on our web site. It can also be obtained from Bayview-Hunters Point Advocates at (415) 671-2862, or from the Mayor’s Office of Business and Economic Development at (415) 554-6969.
