05 Nov Apple Valley 84 Project Approved, Advancing Economic Development in the High Desert
The Town of Apple Valley has approved the Apple Valley 84 project, advancing plans for a Class A logistics facility that will support economic development, job creation, and infrastructure improvements in California’s High Desert region.
The project is anticipated to generate approximately 1,150 jobs, creating new employment opportunities for local residents while supporting the region’s growing logistics and distribution sector.
Located near Interstate 15 (I-15) and State Route 18 (SR-18), the development will transform a vacant, underutilized site into a logistics facility positioned to serve Southern California’s goods movement network. Its strategic location provides access to major transportation corridors, supporting the movement of goods throughout the region.
In addition to the proposed facility, the project includes improvements to surrounding roadways, landscaping, and pedestrian access. The development is also expected to attract businesses, expand the Town’s tax base, and provide more opportunities for residents to work closer to home.
T&B Planning’s Role
On behalf of Covington Group, Inc., T&B Planning supported the project’s environmental review and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance process through the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
The EIR evaluated potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed development and identified mitigation measures to address those effects. This analysis provided information to support the Town’s decision-making throughout the approval process.
The Apple Valley 84 approval highlights the importance of environmental planning in evaluating large-scale industrial developments and supporting informed land use decisions.
Congratulations to Covington Group, Inc. and the entire project team on this milestone! T&B Planning is pleased to have contributed its environmental planning expertise to a project that will support future employment and economic opportunities in the High Desert.
