Reader Reports the above article was of interest so there was an attempt to check the "Plans" and the result was...
The attached article was in the Sun newspaper on Sunday.
Checked with the City. No one knew who put the article in the paper.
No one in the City admitted to talking with the Mar Ventures Inc. developer.
The City said they would as the Sun to retract the article.
Gramp adds the following to ponder:
The Planning Commission Meeting last Wednesday was Canceled an this was in the Sun.
Was there a meeting behind closed doors with the City Staff or some of the Planning Commission and Redevelopment Agency?
Did Mar Ventures do a press release with the information above and then the meeting was not held for some reason?
Note ot Citizens. A portion of this property is owned by the Redevelopment Agency of Grand Terrace. Mar Ventures like the other Contractors and Developers of the past have not had to submit competitive plans or bids to get their status of Developer of Redevelopment Agency Property. They were in part party to the folly of Outdoor Adventure Center that failed to have a realistic cash flow or comprehension of the nature of the property to be developed.
In addition until the 215 freeway is planned and fixed there should be no planned use of the property along the freeway. Final Note. There must be full disclosure of the EIR and TRAFFIC STUDY as part of the PLAN... to even have a PLAN pre Study or EIR and TRAFFIC Infrastructure improvements as a known factor there is reason to be suspect. This is in part PUBLIC OWNED LAND and the PUBLIC SHOULD BE MORE INVOLVED IN THE PLAN...
THIS IS NEW DEVELOPMENT not RE DEVELOPMENT and it should be questioned in great detail as how the NEW DEVELOPMENT will have an impact on already existing homes, and businesses. Including all the Realtors who own bits and pieces or manage the Redevelopment Agency Owned Property.
Green Jobs and a Green Development Great... but more of the same no thank you and empty field is better than an empty building some where else in the existing developments.
