Old Train Depot Revitalization
Description
The council authorized a 12-month exclusive negotiating agreement with Foothill Partners to redevelop the old train depot as a food-and-beverage destination — a feasibility and negotiation stage, not project approval.
Impact summary
Downtown Martinez could gain a food-and-beverage gathering place between the waterfront and downtown, but parking loss, train noise, and environmental conditions on the brownfield site remain open questions for future council votes.
