NEWHALL RANCH PROJECT DELAYED BY THE FILING OF A LAWSUIT BY 5 ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS; IMPACT ON
LOCAL JOBS AND TAX REVENUE IS UNKNOWN
On March 22, five organizations filed suit against Los Angeles County, after the project received its final approval.
The environmental groups claim the decision to allow the development will destroy one of the last remaining wetlands in
Southern California, the Santa Clara River, and pose a threat to indigenous plants and rare species of animals and plants
indigenous to the area.
The cost to build a home has grown over the years and with each project delay the impact fees a builder pays for permits,
water, schools and more grow as well. Locally, the impact fees, on average, add $88,000 to the cost of every home built.
