Good morning, Stockton.
A series of votes at City Hall this week is setting the direction for several housing projects across the city.
Stockton City Council moved $1.6 million previously set aside for Sierra Vista affordable housing and approved nearly $12 million in new loans to help three developments move forward. Vince Medina reports the decisions are part of a broader effort to advance housing projects while reassessing earlier commitments. The changes could influence how quickly new units are built and where resources are focused next.
Elsewhere in today’s newsletter, a Stockton man has been found guilty of sex trafficking minors from a local foster facility. Investigators say arrests in the November mass shooting could come within the next one to two months as evidence continues to be processed. And the Stockton Kings are advancing in the NBA G League playoffs after a 116-104 win over the Iowa Wolves.
If you’re planning the weekend, our guide highlights events across Stockton, from the ballpark to neighborhood egg hunts.
Thank you for reading and for staying connected to Stockton.
