The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 3-0 Wednesday to advance plans for a new park in the community of Spring Valley.
Supervisors authorized the purchasing and contracting department to find a contractor to build Calavo Park in a residential community that features multi-family housing located near three elementary schools -- Casa De Oro, Highland and Loma -- and Monte Vista High School.
Board Chairman Nathan Fletcher said he's excited that the park will be built for residents in Spring Valley, which is located in his district. A park volunteer will be able to live on the property and assist visitors after-hours or perform related duties, according to Fletcher's office. In a related matter, supervisors also voted 3-0 in favor of purchasing 49 acres from Caltrans -- at a price of $2.9 million -- toward the creation of the San Luis Rey River Park in north San Diego County.
