STOCKTON, Calif. — Since 1860, the corner of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and South Airport Way has been home to the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds.
Now, it's being targeted for affordable housing.
"So this is a significant investment in Stockton," said Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln.
The project falls under Governor Gavin Newsom's Excess Land for Affordable Housing Executive Order.
110 of the 250 acres of fairground land will be turned into affordable housing and mixed use housing.
