Joint Meeting on Proposed Highway 111 Warehouse Complex Pushed to Fall

A planned joint meeting between Palm Springs city officials and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians will no longer take place on June 3. The meeting, which would have addressed the proposed Desert Mountain View Business Park, has been pushed to sometime this fall.

The project, which NBC Palm Springs first reported on in December, calls for a nearly 3 million square-foot warehouse complex built across 217 acres of tribal land near Highway 111 and Tipton Road, close to Interstate 10.

The city says the developer needs more time to work through public comments submitted on the project's Draft Tribal Environmental Impact Statement, as well as a number of technical issues still under review. No replacement date has been set, though both the city and tribe say the meeting will be rescheduled for later this fall.

Because the development sits on tribal land, the Agua Caliente Tribal Council will have the final say on whether the project moves forward. The joint meeting gives Palm Springs officials and the public a chance to weigh in and ask questions before that decision is made.
