Did Molly Maybrun Oakland’s Howard Terminal Project Manager, Leave Or Is On As Consultant? - ATLNews

Did Molly Maybrun Oakland’s Howard Terminal Project Manager, Leave Or Is On As Consultant? Does Mayor Thao’s still have her as Point Person? Molly Maybrun has served as the Howard Terminal Ballpark Project Manager since March of 2019. For that time, she's proudly put that she held that title and worked for the City of Oakland in her Linkedin Page Profile; now, it simply reads that she's a Real Estate Development Executive, with no association to anyone. But, her City of Oakland experience reads that she's still working with the City, even as Linkedin refers to her in the past-tense. My hypothesis is that she's still on as a consultant. But all of this is clearly related to the A's focus on moving to Las Vegas. It also points to a possible lowering of focus on the task of redeveloping Oakland's Waterfront. And she may be a casualty of Oakland's expected large budget deficit, as well. Whatever the case, it's a sad end to the Howard Terminal Project as one that has the high-priority designation of the City of Oakland. Which begs the question: what would happen if the A's turned around and elected to try and stay in Oakland? Can the City of Oakland afford the effort? Well, if the City of Oakland actually started using tax increment financing, the answer would be a giant "YES". Stay tuned.
