A proposal to build millions of square feet worth of warehouses near some homes in Riverside is up for vote this week. The plan, developed by Lewis Management Corporation out of Upland, has been in the works for more than two years now as they hope to develop 1.2 square miles of land currently used as parks, open space and commercial space into warehouses the size of 32 football fields. 'They're proposing 4.
'This allows lots of residents who sit on the freeway more than an hour at a time to find some peace.'These are some of the many reasons that residents have formed R-NOW, or Riverside Neighbors Opposing Warehouses. They plan to show up to a public hearing on Wednesday night where the March Joint Powers Commission are set to vote on whether the proposal will move forward.
