Just recently, we celebrated the groundbreaking of UniverCity, a state-of-the-art City of Chula Vista library with over 100,000 square feet of Class A office space. This transformative project is set to reshape our community and provide us the opportunity for a groundbreaking institution for higher education.
The construction of UniverCity in Chula Vista represents a major milestone in our long-term vision for a thriving university campus within our city and it closely aligns with the goals of The Chula Vista University bill, AB 837, which helped secure 383 acres for the City of Chula Vista. The bill gave the city an exemption to the Surplus Lands Act for the land that has been acquired for the University-Innovation District.
We're also excited to share that we are actively collaborating with San Diego State University and other universities to maximize the benefits of this development. As Assemblymember, David will continue to work to secure additional funding to expand this new facility and to bring more higher education opportunities to the South Bay.
