Hayward May Move City Hall To County Site
Hayward city manager John Ficklin told the Alameda county board of supervisors Hayward may relocate its city hall near the land the county expects to buy for a little courthouse on Winton Avenue. He supported the county’s selection of the Harry Owen property as the future site of a $920,000 courthouse in Eden Township, noting it is nearer Hayward’s growth center than the downtown edge site and that grouping public buildings is desirable. The master plan remains a recommendation awaiting public hearing, leaving the civic center site open.
