The city of Del Mar is looking for ways to expand affordable housing. One direction they’re exploring is the state-owned fairgrounds. On Tuesday, city and fairground officials will ask for support from the county board of supervisors to find out if affordable housing is even feasible on the grounds.Third District Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer will bring the resolution to her fellow supervisors. At a news conference Monday, she said support from the board means a smoother planning process for the city of Del Mar and the fairgrounds governing board, which have been collaborating on the housing plan.

Lawson-Remer said the county could help with"whatever they need with the coastal commission, with anything at the state, with investments," and that the county is"going to be fighting to make sure that these units get built; they get built as quickly as possible and they get built in a way that really centers the needs of families in our region." I love hearing from the community and listening to what's important to you. No story is too small.
