Sawmill Lake Planning Meeting Tomorrow. Potentially Up To 800 New Residences in Copperopolis |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/12/2012 10:54 AM
|
Copperopolis, CA...The Calaveras County Planning Commission will have a significant project from Castle & Cooke on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting. The 243 acre Sawmill Lake project from Castle & Cooke could potentially bring up to 800 new residences and needed investment in the area. Castle & Cooke's Dave Haley has been frustrated with the county on this and other projects. The General Plan Update process is usually given as the reason for the delays.

Under the new rules, employers and employees alike are going to contribute their fair share of the costs, resulting in a more sustainable system.”..
