Since the Crawford coal plant closed in 2012, LVEJO has listened to community leaders and advocated for a just transition of the site. However, Hilco Redevelopment Partners recently acquired the site, with plans for a diesel intensive logistics facility. Join us for an interactive discussion with LVEJO community organizers, Nancy Meza & Lilian Molina, about the risks this large facility could pose for the community.
FREE admission and refreshments.
All audiences are welcome to join us at these programs.Captioning, ASL Interpretation and Audio-Description services will be available upon request by contacting us.
