In a recent Kings County government meeting, significant discussions centered around the ongoing challenges faced by the Fox Run housing development in Corcoran, particularly regarding the electrification process. Supervisor Valley initiated the dialogue, highlighting the urgency of the situation as 49 families await the completion of their homes.

Representatives from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) were present to address concerns about delays in the electrification process, which have persisted since the project began in 2021. The discussions revealed that the acquisition of necessary easements and redesigns of electrical plans are critical steps that have yet to be resolved. PG&E officials acknowledged the complexity of the situation, emphasizing that while they are committed to moving the project forward, many of the necessary steps involve coordination with the developer, Doctor Horton.

The meeting also featured pointed exchanges between county supervisors and PG&E representatives regarding the timeline and responsibilities surrounding the project. Supervisor Greg Race expressed frustration over the delays, questioning why easement discussions had only recently begun despite significant financial commitments made by Doctor Horton to PG&E back in early 2021.

The dialogue underscored a broader concern about communication and accountability among the stakeholders involved. Residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of clear answers regarding when they could expect to move into their homes. PG&E representatives reiterated their commitment to resolving the issues but noted that they are limited in what they can disclose publicly due to privacy agreements with the developer.

As the meeting concluded, there was a consensus on the need for continued collaboration among PG&E, Doctor Horton, and the city of Corcoran to expedite the process. The board agreed to revisit the issue in three weeks, with hopes that further discussions could lead to a resolution that would allow families to finally move into their homes.
