In Alameda, California, a lawsuit has been filed against the Alameda Food Bank’s project to build a new location. The lawsuit claims that the city did not follow proper procedures when approving the project, which involves a historic parking lot. The plaintiffs argue that the city circumvented environmental review laws, specifically the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
