In a pivotal San Francisco County government meeting, the focus was on the reappointment of key commissioners to the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII). Reverend Carolyn Ransom Scott, a native San Franciscan, highlighted her commitment to the city’s development, particularly in addressing housing shortages and economic opportunities. "We are gaining ground on the shipyard cleanup," she stated, emphasizing her dedication to health, wellness, and safety improvements in the community.

Scott's vision for the next decade includes increasing housing production and supporting families unjustly displaced in the past. Her remarks underscored the importance of affordable housing and economic development, particularly at Candlestick Point, which she described as a transformative project for the city.

Earl Shaddix, another nominee, shared his extensive community involvement, particularly in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. As the executive director of Economic Development on Third, he expressed his commitment to equitable outcomes for small businesses and his readiness to contribute to the OCII commission.

Mark Miller, a retired city manager, also presented his qualifications, emphasizing the significance of the commission's work for San Francisco's neighborhoods and economy. His background in public policy and engineering positions him well to support the commission's goals.

Director Thorke Kozlovsky praised the nominees for their dedication and experience, reinforcing the commission's critical role in addressing housing and community needs. The meeting concluded with a call for public comment, highlighting the community's interest in the commission's impact on local issues.

The reappointment of these commissioners signals a continued focus on addressing San Francisco's pressing housing and economic challenges, with a commitment to community engagement and development.
