New Housing for Farmworkers Taking Shape: Stone Pine Cove Helps Fulfill a Promise
Redwood City – Piece by piece, new homes that will provide local farmworkers with an affordable place to live on the Coastside are taking shape in a Central Valley factory.
Sparks fly at one end of an indoor complex larger than a football field northwest of Sacramento as welders forge steel bases. At the other end, past framing and plumbing and painting stations, nearly complete homes with full kitchens and bathrooms roll out for quality inspections.
A total of 47 manufactured homes will ultimately be trucked to and installed at Stone Pine Cove, a new neighborhood in Half Moon Bay that helps fulfill a pledge by local officials to provide a worthy place to live for some of the area’s lowest paid yet vital workers. Barring severe winter storms or unexpected delays, the new homes will be installed on foundations this spring.
