PG&E, San Francisco, CA
In 2013, PG&E began community-focused programming as NOW Hunters Point, an experiment to program and temporarily activate the remediated, and vacant, Hunters Point Power Plant. NOW Hunters Point operated from 2013-2021 and was a vehicle to re-orient the site to the community, soliciting input on interim use programming, neighborhood issues and future development, hosting more than 300 events in partnership with 20 local Bayview-Hunters Point community organizations and welcoming more than 66,000 people to the site. The legacy of NOW Hunters Point and substantive community engagement explicitly informed the community-centered design process that led to the Visioning Process for the ultimate disposition of the site.
