Newberry Springs is headed for a showdown with the Daggett Solar project.  If permitted, the solar project will drastically change the character and the livability of residing in Newberry Springs.

    Should the solar project be built, the desirability of residential land in Newberry will drop as well as property values.

    Pulmonary diseases, like COPD, will increase as Newberry's air will be laced with much higher concentrations of silica dust, a California Proposition 65 listed carcinogen.

    A county Board of Supervisors hearing on the Newberry CSD's appeal of the solar project's Environmental Impact Report's certification will be held Tuesday, December 10, 2019, at the County's main administrative center located in San Bernardino at 10 A.M.  Address: 385 N. Arrowhead Avenue • San Bernardino, CA 92415

    A massive community turnout is needed to persuade the Supervisors to reject the solar facility's certification.

    The hearing will be live-streamed to the High Desert Governmental Center in Hesperia if speakers wish to speak remotely.  The address is: 15900 Smoke Tree St. • Hesperia, CA 92345.  While presenting remote communication is helpful, direct appearance in the Boardroom is far more beneficial and highly suggested.

    If you can attend the San Bernardino hearing, it is imperative that you do so.  Too much of our lives are at risk.  While speakers are desired (up to 3-minutes are permitted), it is not necessary to speak to show your concern.

    If you believe that you can attend, please e-mail us and let us know.  If you can drive and also transport a Newberry neighbor or two, please tell us.

    If you need a ride, please let us know.  We are trying to coordinate our community's mobile resources for a maximum turnout.  We need your help.

    Bob Berkman of Newberry's CEQA Now is acting as coordinator.

    Please assist by spreading the word of the hearing.
