SpotLight: Lightner's Updates on Flower Hill Promenade & One Paseo

San Diego City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner released her monthly newsletter this week with highlights including an update on One Paseo, the grand opening of Flower Hill Promenade, job opportunities for high school and college students, and community improvements.

Lightner joined Councilman Kevin Faulconer and developer Jeffrey Essakow for a ribbon cutting ceremony of Flower Hill Promenade on Via De La Valle on Feb. 27.

“Flower Hill provides an excellent example of how a developer can work with the community to deliver a project that everyone can support,” Lightner said in her newsletter. “I encourage everyone to check out the great shops, fresh and healthy food, and unbeatable —all in one convenient location right in our backyard.”

Lightner reported that the community has another chance to weigh in on the proposed One Paseo project at the next meeting of the Carmel Valley Planning Board, which will be held on Thursday, March 28 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Ocean Air School’s multi-use room located at 11444 Canter Heights Dr.

Newsletter highlights also include an announcement that the San Diego Workforce Partnership is currently accepting applications from motivated teens and young adults, ages 16-21, to participate in the CONNECT2Careers summer jobs program. The deadline for applications is March 30.
