BILL TARGETING WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION VETOED

AB 2853 by Assemblymember Jose Medina (D-Riverside) was vetoed by Governor Brown.  Our industry strongly opposed the bill as it unreasonably targeted one building type, warehouses, when working together with a local government on certain economic development subsidies.  Current law already requires extensive disclosure of information by all project types getting such subsidies.  Here is the Governor’s veto message.
