The ruling, while not yet final, could pave the way for large amounts of coal to be stored at Oakland’s port before being shipped overseas.
Phil Tagami, center, Oakland developer and Chief Executive Officer of California Capital Investment Group, and Principal and Executive of Concord First Partners, heads back to his seat next to Albert Seeno III, right, Chief Executive Officer of Discovery Builders Inc., and Principal and Executive of Concord First Partners during their Naval Weapons Station development presentation before the Concord City Council in Concord, Calif., on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023.
Attorneys for Tagami’s firm, Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal LLC , successfully argued that the delays were the result of unforeseen events — namely, the city’s own efforts to stall the project. The court will make a final decision after hearing comments from both sides. If he remains victorious, Tagami, who is seeking damages from the city, will have the choice of continuing on with the project or walking away.
In that case, the court determined there wasn’t substantial evidence of the proposed coal operations at the terminal posing a danger to Oaklanders’ health.
