Direct staff to send a letter to Google inviting them to consider the Port of Richmond for the relocation of the barge
5 to 1
Why This Vote Matters
Richmond will formally invite Google to move its large barge from San Francisco's Treasure Island to the Port of Richmond. The council voted 5-1 with one abstention to direct staff to send the invitation letter, with Councilmember Boozé dissenting and Councilmember Bates abstaining. If Google accepts, the relocation could bring new jobs and revenue to Richmond's waterfront. This is an invitation only—Google would need to separately agree to any actual move and terms.
