alameda point revitalization initiative
rebuttal to argument against Measure B
The simple fact is the decaying former Naval Air Station at Alameda
Point could cost every Alameda taxpayer hundreds of dollars per year,
every year.
Each year, the City of Alameda wastes millions of dollars that could be
used for police and fire, but is instead spent to maintain crumbling
roads, deteriorating sewer lines and decaying buildings. This creates a
drain on our City budget and wastes taxpayer money.
Measure B is a plan to revitalizeAlameda Point created by residents of
Alameda to rehabilitate the Naval Air Station and to prevent the waste of
taxpayer dollars.
Here are the facts:
We can vote NO and continue being taxed to pay for a decaying Naval
Air Station
OR
We can vote YES to make the developer pay to Revitalize Alameda
Point.

Measure B is a plan to revitalizeAlameda Point created by residents of
Alameda to rehabilitate the Naval Air Station and to prevent the waste of
taxpayer dollars.
Here are the facts:
- Alameda Point is contaminated with toxics, lead and asbestos.
Measure B will continue the cleanup process to ensure it is safe
for residents and businesses.
- Measure B guarantees that any developer will have to pay $200
million for public amenities, such as recreation facilities, parks,
open space protection, a fire station and a library.
- Under the existing agreement, this plan must pay for itself. That
means that the project will generate enough revenue to cover the
cost of maintaining it. Your taxes will NOT be increased.
- Measure B will protect existing businesses, create local jobs and
provide needed housing that is consistent with the character of
our community.
We can vote NO and continue being taxed to pay for a decaying Naval
