A large logistics warehouse and package delivery center rumored to be for Amazon was approved by the Upland City Council late Wednesday, April 1, ending months of hearings, public opposition and strenuous debate.
The El Segundo-based Bridge Development Partners will build a 201,096-square-foot warehouse with truck bays and parking for more than 1,000 delivery vans on 50-plus acres of empty land located northeast of Central Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in western Upland.
“This is a great project and it will be great for the future of Upland,” said Mayor Pro-Tem Ricky Felix.
Votes on the project’s environmental review, site and design plan and development agreement came during a five-hour special City Council meeting. The meeting and public hearing were conducted according to stay-at-home protocols in place due to the new coronavirus emergency, barring members of the public from attending but allowing them to comment via telephone hook-up.
More on this developing story to come.
