CEMENT or Camp Ground Recreation Center

The area where Manhole Builder's Inc has proposed to build its facility was under serious consideration and a bid had been made by a conservation group for its purchase for inclusion as an important part of the proposed Colton Regional Park which would span across the river into Colton. This facility would have included day parks, camping and sports facilities. Concessions and Camping was also planned. This would have been a development which would have provided increased business for existing restaurants, gas stations and other small retail businesses. This would have been a development which would be minimally affected by flooding which has and will continue to be problematic for this piece of land. We have all seen that farm swamped for months after a good rainy season. The Park Plan included planting indigenous plants, not a cement plant.

The some how the better offer for the sale, did not get to the conservation group which has indicated its willingness to make a counter offer. Was this another back room negotiation? Who will ever know. It seems that it is a transaction made not in the best interest of the former owner, or for the community and neighbors around the area.

Once again it doesn't pass the sniff test.

Where are the Environment Impact Studies? What is the current ownership of the property CRA? What did they pay for it, and Is the Regional Park and conservatory Group's Offer still a possible?
