CONCORD, CA — Contra Costa County has broken ground on a Bay Point development that will bring a new public library and 167 affordable rental homes near BART. The $128 million project, called Orbisonia Village, is within walking distance of the Pittsburg-Bay Point BART Station.

The first phase includes a 20,900-square-foot library and a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom affordable homes. The library marks the first time in 50 years the county has built a new library.

"It's exciting to see the County's long-term redevelopment vision come to life with Orbisonia Village, creating a vibrant community for about 1,000 residents and a new library near BART," said Board Chair Diane Burgis, District III supervisor. The development will bring housing, educational resources and access to public transportation and community services together in one location.

The library will feature a children's room, teen space, maker space, study rooms and a community meeting room. Construction is expected to continue through 2028, with the library anticipated to open in spring 2029.
