Planning: AES and the High School

Planning seems to be a continued problem in Grand Terrace, and now it has encroached onto the Colton Joint Unified School District.

When the RDA began to aquire property in the "Industrial" area of Grand Terrace it eliminated local jobs, and a buffer between the power plant and the non Industrial Uses. AKA HOMES.

Thinking the Power Plant would be moth balled and because no one was interested at a higher use, the Light Industial property was sold to CJUSD for a High School.

Then, with an ever increasing need for power, the proposal for a Peaker Plant at the Gage Power Facility came up.

These two uses adjacent to one another seem to be at conflict with one another.. Gee ya think?

Let's see. Fule and Chemical Storage, Polution including, Heat, Noise, and Air, Traffic Flow, and A High School. HMMM Interesting Mix. ALSO note to self. Rail Track is USED and will add to noise levels at the High School.

Perhaps the old Lumber Yard, and Manufactureing and Farming, YES I said Farming was the best use of that land.... PERHAPS we have PLANNED ourselves right out of the best use of that area of town.

It will be interesting.
