Adverse Votes by Hayward Councilmen Block Swig Plan
Financier Ben Swig told a South Hayward audience last night that only the adverse votes of Hayward city councilmen could stop his proposed multi million dollar shopping center. He said a Jan 4 public hearing would discuss annexation and zoning for the 24 to 40 acre site between Jackson street and Winter Avenue. Swig promoted Sears Magnin and other tenants, pledged a modern center, and predicted ground would break within 30 days if approved. Some residents oppose industrial zoning as unwanted factory development, while Swig argued the project would boost city taxes. He denied plans for a hotel.
