Share Your Ideas for Princeton Development in Half Moon Bay

San Mateo County will hold its first open house for the new project “Plan Princeton” — an effort to update plans and policies concerning the Princeton area — this Saturday from 2-4 p.m. at the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club.

According to the effort’s new website, this will be the first opportunity for residents to get information and share ideas with the consulting team of the project.

The project, itself, will serve the area west of and including Highway 1, located between Pillar Point Harbor and Moss Beach.

“We want Plan Princeton to be a collaborative process to help realize the community’s vision for the future, ensuring that development enhances the community character and identity, supports the working waterfront, provides benefits and amenities for our entire community,“ San Mateo County’s Project Manager Summer Burlison said in a release.

Workshops and meetings will take place throughout the year-and-a-half process, one which is aimed to create jobs, restore water quality to surrounding habitats and enhance coastal recreation and research opportunities in the area, according to the project’s website.

“Princeton is such a unique part of San Mateo County — we want to see it evolve to better enhance coastal access, recreation, research, and education opportunities and support and expand coastal-dependent and coastal-related uses,” District 3 County Supervisor and plan proponent Don Horsley said in a release. “We hope the public will help us by being a critical element of this process.”
