On Tuesday, the Antioch City Council approved a resolution waiving “city only” building permit fees up to $50k for Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa County.
The fee waiver will assist Loaves and Fishes (LFCC) with their renovations at their property at 408 O Street in the City of Antioch. LFCC estimates that they will invest $1.74 million in improvements to their property, which will house their new 7,000 square foot central kitchen, and their Workforce Culinary Development Program. Upon completion of their work, LFCC estimates that they will be able to triple their daily meal production and expand onsite services to provide mobile showers, medical and mental health services, and housing resources.
The new Central Kitchen located in Antioch will allow them to triple its daily meal output from 3,000 to 9,000 meals, launch a Culinary Arts Training Program for East Contra Costa residents, and create space for a mobile resource hub that will provide critical services such as food, healthcare, housing navigation, and showers – all within the City of Antioch…
