SAN DIEGO, CA – Mayor Todd Gloria issued the following statement today after the San Diego City Council unanimously approved the agreements and land-use actions needed to advance the Midway Rising redevelopment:

“San Diego has talked about transforming the Midway District for the last decade. Today, we finally moved from talking about it to making it real. 

“This project will deliver 2,000 affordable homes as part of 4,250 new homes, transforming underused public land into urgently needed housing. It will also bring a new 16,000-seat arena, parks and public spaces, shops, restaurants, jobs and major infrastructure improvements. This is a monumental win for housing, for the Midway community and for the future of our city. 

“I thank the City Council for its unanimous support. Now, let’s get to work bringing this vision to life.”
