What People Are Saying
“The construction phase of the Cadiz Valley Water Project would create a cumulative total of nearly 6,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs over the four years of effort, to tap into San Bernardino County’s extensive labor supply, where the high desert unemployment was 16.4% in March 2011. It would also support local manufacturers of materials used in construction of wells, pipelines, and power generation, with a net local four year economic impact of $878 million.”
Dr. John Husing, Inland Empire Economist
“The Inland Empire’s recovery depends on jumpstarting the construction and manufacturing sectors which are our primary economic engines. The Project comes at a time when we need it most and presents a unique opportunity for the County to support local vendors and job creation.”
