On August 12, 2025, the County of Orange Board of Supervisors approved a development agreement with Griffin Swinerton to construct a Workforce Reentry Center at West Metropolitan Drive and The City Drive South. To improve vehicular access to the Workforce Reentry Center, including traffic signal modifications, restriping, and median modifications, the Orange County Board of Supervisors has approved a Cooperative Agreement, and now requests the City of Orange's approval of both the Cooperative Agreement as well as a City Council resolution consenting to a temporary designation of City of Orange streets as County of Orange streets. By approving both Resolution No. 11686 and the Cooperative Agreement, the County of Orange may complete the necessary offsite improvements. The Cooperative Agreement and temporary road designation will be in effect until 10 days after a Notice of Completion is filed.
