Mayor Acquanetta Warren responded to an outpour of opposition to ongoing warehouse development in a letter to the editor on Nov. 27, 2020.
Unsurprisingly, she failed to meaningfully respond to residents growing concerns about building warehouses next to our homes and our children s schools, as well as the harmful environmental impacts that are exacerbating in the city of Fontana, surrounding communities, and damaging our children s health.
In her response, Mayor Warren affirmed to the community that she has opted for a status-quo approach to economic investment and advancement opportunities, even though residents want and have demanded better.
Mayor Warren stated that warehousing and logistics operations in our city provide nearly 12,000 jobs, but, as always, she fails to cite sources and the average salary. Per indeed, an average warehouse worker earns $33,028 annually, which is $13.54 an hour and $4,875 in overtime.
