Are you against all development?

Answer

Absolutely not, we support growth. But this development makes no sense for San Benito County. The warehouses Strada Verde wants to build would bring hundreds of diesel-spewing tractor-trailer trucks into and out of the site every day, and provide low-wage jobs we don't want. The site is also right next to a chemical plant where large quantities of lethal chemicals are located. The chemical plant was intentionally located away from urban areas to prevent public exposure to lethal chemicals.
