Moreno Valley, CA
Environmental and community groups reached a landmark settlement today with the developer of the World Logistics Center Project in Moreno Valley, California to invest up to $47 million in electric vehicles (EV) and equipment, rooftop solar, EV charging stations, and other solutions to electrify the facility and reduce harms to local air quality, wildlife, and the climate.
A coalition of environmental justice and conservation groups has worked to reduce the World Logistics Center’s harmful impacts for close to 10 years, and the groups have filed three lawsuits filed since 2015 over the project. The 40.6 million square foot development is roughly the size of three Central Parks, making it the world s largest master-planned warehouse development, and needs zero-emissions and electrification to address air pollution impacts. Residents of the Inland Empire region where the project is located breathe some of the most polluted air in the United States. U
