Jerry Brown announced something that was very important to a handful of residents on a fairly obscure stretch of Oakland's waterfront.

The development would also include office and retail space, marinas and parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan, which used to be called Oak to 9th (describing the waterfront from Oak Street to 9th Avenue), has been around for years. The missing ingredient was money. Now that's taken care of and work on improving infrastructure in the area can start.
