City
Vs. County Development
There is a common
misconception that the City of Santa Clarita is responsible for
the excessive amount of development occurring in the Santa Clarita
Valley. In fact, it is the County that is responsible for the overwhelming
majority of the development that has occurred and is occurring in
this valley.
Consider the
following:
