Lucas seeking affordable homes for Grady Ranch
MARIN COUNTY — Filmmaker George Lucas hopes to build 224 units of affordable workforce and senior housing on the same Grady Ranch property where he had once planned a film studio, a proposal he withdrew after years of opposition.
Working with Lucas’ Skywalker Properties, the nonprofit Petaluma Ecumenical Properties Housing submitted a pre-application to the Marin County Community Development Agency on April 15 and requested that planners begin a preliminary review of conceptual development plans.
The “Star Wars” creator plans to pay for the entire project himself, without any state or federal grants, on his property in west Marin County off Lucas Valley Road.
Lucas has been quoted as saying if he can’t do what he wants to with the property, “he wants to do something that will benefit the community.”
