Equity For Jacumba Alternative
With practically zero community feedback considered, the developer, a multi-billion dollar German conglomerate BayWa r.e. has targeted a small, rural, and at-risk community for the largest project ever proposed in San Diego County. JVR Energy Park is a 623-acre MEGA solar project that has been rushed through the Major Use Permit process and is years ahead of the average speed of a project of its size. They are hiding behind the much needed push for sustainable energy production, and using that to cloak their corporate profit first, bottomline driven plan that will devastate a historic, low-income San Diego Community, and permanently damage wildlife and ecosystems in the area. There is a better solution that balances the needs for all of San Diego, its communities and the environment. We should not repeat our mistakes from the past by targeting and taking advantage of low-income communities for industrial development first.
Founded in the early 1920s, Jacumba Hot Springs is a historic community built around the healing hot spring water found in the area. Today it is one of the lowest income communities in San Diego County. This project will completely surround this at-risk community, devastate its only economic engine that is under extensive revitalization and permanently turn a beautiful rural community and its residents into an industrialized utility for the wealthy coastal communities.
Should the green energy revolution begin by targeting low-income and at-risk communities and industrializing their neighborhoods first?
Why does our small low-income community have to be destroyed so wealthy coastal communities can say they are progressive?
Please help us say NO to this injustice.
Say NO to dirty development.
We support an alternative plan that will still produce the largest solar project in San Diego County, yet balance our green energy needs with protecting the wildlife of the Carrizo Gorge and Anza Borrego Desert State Park with a wildlife corridor, offering the only connection of the 585,000 acres of protected land that is Anza Borrego Desert State Park to the southern border.
Big Horn Sheep, Quino Checkered Butterfly, Tri-Colored Blackbird, Golden Eagles, to name a few of the species that will be negatively and permanently impacted by this project.
