Rezoning does not mean the City takes possession of the land. Intel still owns it. Let's let Intel speak for itself. Folsom's economy has always been solvent - before Intel, and if Intel were to leave (don't think that would happen anywa) there are sufficient other business/industries to maintain the economy. Actually, many Intel employees complain that they can't afford to live in Folsom anyway, so maybe rezoning to allow multi-family housing right next to Intel would be a real good match.

I have a really bad feeling about this.

Intel has yet to oppose the rezone, and since Intel is not increasing its workforce and complex, it would seem that they don't have any current plans for expanding on that property. Rezoning does not mean the City takes possession of the land. Intel still owns it. Let's let Intel speak for itself |
I was at the 11/12 meeting and Intel did speak up for itself. They said it was purchased for business needs and pretty much told the council to stick it. In light of economic times, Intel plans on expanding at some time, and this would force them not to.
You're right, Intel would own the property, but they are not in the affordable housing business - which means they would have to sell the land.
Not a good idea to piss Intel off. Don't provide them a reason not to provide jobs here. Despite what you say Intel is the backbone of Folsom's economy and eliminating 7500 jubs would have a direct impact on all aspects of our economy.

Intel has SUPPORTED Folsom for years!
Some people don't live in the REAL world----only their own little safe area---the H--- with what is REALLY GOING ON!!!
I, FOR ONE, want to say THANK YOU to Intel!!!!! They have done more to support the excuse for a library building than anyone!!!!!

Intel has always been good to Folsom, but I think they'll agree that Folsom has been good to Folsom.
One other point, the city can propose rezoning on any and all property (including yours!) in its jurisdiction (except for federal property, but that's another story). The city tries to do its job within the statutory requirements and for the good of the entire community as a whole.

Once again, the city will probably dump on one corner of the city in order to pacify Intel and try to comply with the Legal Services Agreement before the judge shuts down permits again.
