  1. The Oceanside Planning Division will host a public workshop for the South Morro Hills Community Plan (SMHCP) on Wednesday, March 16 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
    South Morro Hills is among Oceanside's last remaining farming regions and includes over 3,500 acres in the northeast area near Fallbrook. Many residents want the land preserved solely for agricultural purposes while housing advocates propose allowing for "clusters" of housing developments. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. All coastal rail line service will be suspended this weekend between the Oceanside Transit Center and the Santa Fe Depot for routine maintenance and rail infrastructure work, the North County Transit District said. Weekend closures like these occur periodically during the year, the NCTD said. "Absolute Work Windows (AWWs) provide construction crews the opportunity to work safely and unimpeded on and along the rail line to perform improvements and maintenance work," NCTD said.

  3. Gilead Sciences, Inc. announced that the company has purchased additional land in Oceanside. Under the terms of this agreement, Gilead will acquire approximately 27 acres of undeveloped land neighboring Gilead's existing facility in Oceanside at 4010 Ocean Ranch Boulevard."Our Oceanside location focuses on supporting clinical manufacturing and process development for Gilead and Kite," said Joydeep Ganguly, Senior Vice President, Corporate Operations. "We value the talent and infrastructure available in Southern California and purchased the land to give us the ability to bring more manufacturing operations to the area." (Marketscreener.com)
