What are your thoughts about the development of the frontage property at Ohlone’s Main Campus? Answer from Greg Bonaccorsi: The frontage property at Ohlone College is a valuable asset that must be handled carefully by the Board of Trustees. It is clear that an opportunity to develop that asset for the benefit of the entire Ohlone community has been lost for the time being. However, that temporary setback provides the trustees of the Ohlone College Board with a chance to reexamine the process that was used in the past and to improve upon it. If elected to the Board of Trustees, I would advocate for a process that is more transparent to students, instructors, administrators, business interests, and to the community as a whole. It is vitally important that input and collaboration be the key to coming to consensus on the final disposition of this valuable piece of property. Working together may also be necessary to provide a level of confidence to those organizations wishing to step forward. I will want to play a positive role in making this change possible. Your support will provide the roadmap for making that change happen.
