Newsom blasts Half Moon Bay planners over delay on farmworker senior housing project

Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed Half Moon Bay’s planning commission on Thursday for delaying a decision on an affordable housing development for senior farmworkers.

The Planning Commission voted twice to delay a vote on the downtown project, which would feature a five-story building with 40 residential units for senior farmworkers who are low- and very low-income, along with a floor of office space and a farmworker resource center.
