The Napa City Council will consider buying nearly three acres of land to develop affordable housing during its meeting this afternoon. The parcel of land at 3875 Jefferson Street had originally been intended for a nonprofit housing project called Sanctuary Village. If authorized by the council, two-and-half-million-dollars from funds specifically earmarked for affordable housing will be used to purchase the land. If the city does buy the land, it would be just the first step in developing the site. The city would then need to select an affordable housing developer and create the plans for development.
