Lucerne Valley, just to the north of the Morongo Basin, shares many of our concerns regarding impacts of development on our local economies and rural character. The Lucerne Valley Economic Development Association (LEVDA) has been providing comments on Green Path North; the Programmatic Solar Energy environmental study currently being conducted by the Departments of Interior and Energy; and wind energy projects in their neighborhood such as West Fry (in the Johnson Valley Off-Highway Recreation Area) and the Granite Mountains.
On Tuesday, Sept. 2, they'll be hearing from Johnson Valley residents and user groups about impacts of the proposed expansion of the 29 Palms Marine Base and potential economic impacts on Lucerne Valley. Lucerne Valley Senior Center, 5 p.m.
