Chula Vista is the only city in California with a population greater than 200,000 residents that does not have a non-profit or state university within its city limits.
Local leaders Wednesday praised a decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom to exempt 383 acres in Chula Vista from the Surplus Lands Act, advancing longstanding plans to bring a four-year university to the South Bay city.
Earlier this year, the state said the acres set aside for university district development in the eastern part of the city, near the Lower Otay Reservoir, must be made available for housing developers. "We now have the opportunity to create a regional university for the South Bay and open doors to future generations looking for new educational experiences," Alvarez said."Individuals with a bachelor's degree have greater earning power and can earn about $32,000 more annually than those with a high school diploma."
