Summary
A developer wants to re-designate 668 acres of rural Mead Valley for mixed commercial, industrial and open-space uses. Supporters see jobs, roads, a grocery store and tax revenue; opponents fear more warehouses next to homes, a school and a library in an already warehouse-saturated environmental justice community. The Board only authorized the study — the real fight comes when a specific plan is filed.
