They aze two very different projects, but both have some similarities to some things in Chula Vista. These projects are leading him to a see a different vision as far as the role of redevelopment and he wanted to shaze this with the board. He made it clear that he was not speaking about the role of CVRC, but the new role of redevelopment. His intent with this presentation is to create a new dialogue. * At the end of his presentation he announced that, due to the fact that he is pursuing other adventures and he needs to refocus, this will be his last night as a CVRC Director.
