‘The county is going to do what the county wants’: Planners find service center conflicts with Brentwood standards
The East County Service Center, a project being built on county-owned land on Technology Way in Brentwood, continues to draw ire from the city’s Planning Commission. It voted 4-1 during their Sept. 15 meeting to determine that the project does not conform to city standards in a number of ways. Commissioner Gerald Johnson dissented.
County offers explanation behind Brentwood project
With Supervisor Diane Burgis overseeing this entire region of the county, Brentwood residents have consistently asked during city meetings why she has focused major projects such as fire stations and the East County Service Center in the city rather than Oakley, Antioch, and other cities in the district. Kristi Jourdan, director of the Office of Communications & Media for the county, answered some questions about the new East County Service Center and the county’s broader interest in development in Brentwood.
