Harris spoke about her efforts to clean up the air in the highly polluted California town of Mira Loma. As California attorney general, she listened to various citizens who brought difficult health circumstances to her and then decided to join a lawsuit challenging Riverside County’s approval of an industrial project. The proposed project, named the Mira Loma Commerce Center, consisted of a million square feet of warehouses and industrial buildings, resulting in approximately increased 1,500 additional daily diesel trucks trips.
“The proposed Mira Loma complex carries significant health risks to a community that is already suffering the impacts of what is among the worst particulate pollution levels in the nation,” Harris said.
