PALM SPRINGS, CA (October 31, 2007) – During a special meeting today of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce board of directors, the Board voted in favor of endorsing a “Yes” vote on Ballot Measure C.
Ordinance No. 1689, passed by the City of Palm Springs on May 17, 2006, will grant a ten year extension (to June, 29, 2016) of the Development Agreement between the City and Shadowrock Real Estate Development LLC. Through Ballot Measure C, voters of the City of Palm Springs will determine whether Ordinance No. 1689 and the ten year extension of the Development Agreement should be approved.
“The board considered, very seriously, all the arguments articulated by both sides of the Measure,” said John Pivinski, Chamber CEO. “And is confident the developer and the City have appropriately and completely taken every precaution to preserve the natural beauty and environmental integrity of the Chino Cone,” Pivinski added. Shadowrock brings the possibility of stimulating new business and commercial growth by adding a world class destination five-star resort and golf course that will attract new visitors to Palm Springs boosting our local economy.“We hope that the voters will make their decision based on facts and truths, and not the ardent rhetoric of an impassioned few.”
