Originally, Huntington Beach offered $1.8 million for the mushroom farm, and earlier this year offered almost $2.4 million. The city, which owns the land and leases it to the park, has promised to relocate Driftwood residents to the mushroom farm after it makes improvements to the land. Part of the land to be in the Riverfront Project is occupied by the Driftwood Beach Club Mobile Home Park. The first phase of the project, a 296-room Hilton Hotel, is expected to be completed by next summer. The Riverfront project, situated on Pacific Coast Highway near Huntington Street, includes plans for four hotels, a shopping plaza, a health and tennis club and some type of housing, said Susan Hunt, Riverfront project manager for the city’s Redevelopment Agency. If the city had taken DiStefano to trial, the city stood to lose about $6 million in property and bed taxes from the planned hotels in the Riverfront project, Mays said.
