City of Coachella Advances Massive Growth Plan
From The Desert Sun:
“In a 4-0 vote Wednesday, the [Coachella] City Council approved a series of resolutions and ordinances concerning a 2,200-acre development that city leaders hope will transform Coachella into an economic giant, despite initial concerns about the project’s potentially large infrastructural and public safety demands and unaffordable housing cost. …
“About six miles worth of outside water supply would be imported into the site. Several on-site water pressure zones and reservoirs would also be installed on the property in order to meet the project’s water needs.”
