A newly formed task force formed by Assemblymember David Alvarez, led by Clarissa Reyes Falcon and Mark Sanchez, the superintendent/president of Southwestern Community College District, has been elected to lead the South County Higher Education Planning Task Force. The task force is tasked with developing recommendations on governance, financing and land use for the University District at Chula Vista, a proposed campus on a 383-acre, city-owned site in eastern Chula V. The committee also secured $25 million in state funding for the nearby Millenia Library building. The Task force will meet four times through February 2027, with a final report due to the California Legislature by July 1, 2027.
