Bloomington Residents Meet to Discuss Valley Corridor Project

Bloomington residents, project developers, and representatives from the County of San Bernardino County, including 5th District Supervisor Josie Gonzales, gathered at Mary B. Lewis Elementary School on Thursday to discuss plans for major public investments in Bloomington. “This Valley Corridor Project signifies a whole new frontier of opportunities for business owners and residents who call Bloomington home. We’re using this new project as a flagship for new standards and models for what is to come,” said Supervisor Gonzales. The County Board of Supervisors has identified the Bloomington community and the Valley Corridor in particular as an area for concentrated reinvestment. The project area stretches approximately 1.25 miles along Valley Boulevard between Alder Avenue to the west and Spruce Avenue to the east. This project supplements the ongoing investments on Valley Boulevard including construction of median improvements, sewer and water line extensions along Valley Boulevard, new housing, and a new branch library. Part of the Valley Corridor Project includes implementing a “specific plan.” This plan will provide not only the general vision and policy framework to guide development, but also the regulatory mechanisms that foster timely and quality development. “I do feel the Valley Corridor Project is an important thing for Bloomington. We need to show improvements and growth in this town, and I believe this is a start. People are hopeful as to what’s going on with the library and other improvements,” said Betty Gosney, vice-chair of the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council. “I’m really excited about the project. I think it’s an opportunity to develop a commercial corridor that will bring more revenue to the area, some new excitement and synergy within the community,” said Gary Grossich, member of the Bloomington Municipal Advisory Council. The County has a website dedicated to the Valley Corridor Project. Visit www.valleycorridor.com for complete details and up-to-date information.
