Walnut Creek Locks in Heather Farm Financing as College District Eyes Future Bond

Walnut Creek City Council secured financing for its flagship aquatic center Tuesday night, authorizing up to $60 million in lease revenue bonds to complete the long-awaited Heather Farm project. The unanimous vote caps years of planning for a facility that will replace the aging Clark Swim Center, with construction already underway after the council awarded a $51.6 million contract earlier in the meeting.

  • $60M bond authorization approved for Heather Farm Aquatic & Community Center financing

  • City assumes concealed carry permit duties from Contra Costa County, expecting 100 annual applications

  • Community college district signals potential bond measure as enrollment rebounds to pre-pandemic levels

  • Construction contract awarded for $51.6M Heather Farm project, praised for competitive bidding

  • 2025 building codes adopted with local structural and floodplain amendments

  • Student calls for school shuttle service to reduce Northgate High traffic congestion

The bond issuance unlocks $55 million in net proceeds for the Heather Farm Aquatic & Community Center, leveraging the city's AA+ credit rating and Measure O sales tax revenue to deliver a generational community investment without straining the general fund.
