"Protests to Russell City Plan Voiced", Daily Review, Jan. 16, 1963

Full Text:

"I don't want to sell my property." 

One by one as they stepped to the microphone to protest Alameda County's redevelopment proposal, Russell City property owners expressed that sentiment. 

They were reacting... in the first of a scheduled series of public hearings... to a $1.8 million county plan to raze their homes and transform the blighted Russel City area into a 200 acre industrial park.

Daily Review, Aug. 30, 1961

Soil tests basic in a full-scale redevelopment program in Russell City were ordered yesterday by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. 

Underscoring the top priority it has given the Russell City project, the board directed County Administrator Earl Strathman immediately to engage the Oakland firm of Woodward-Clyde-Sherard and Associates to undertake the soil study.
