The Aquabella development will be a mixed-use village near the center of the city and will include 15-thousand apartments. The plans also contain thousands of square feet for commercial and retail use, a hotel, and a lake.
Supporters of the project… like Council Member Ed Delgado… say it will modernize the city.
“It’s a good project and it's going to bring Moreno Valley to a different level," said Delgado.
Meanwhile, opponents say that a project of this scale should guarantee work for locals. They asked the council to vote no unless an agreement could be made with the developer… T/CAL Realty. The project is expected to be completed by 2040.
