A public hearing on the draft EIR for the massive new Love’s Truck Stop development proposed southwest of the Vista Drive (formerly South Weed) Interstate 5 freeway exit will be held starting at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, August 15 at Weed City Hall, 550 Main St.

Interested citizens of Weed and the surrounding area are invited to attend. This meeting follows a comment period during which numerous deficiencies with the draft EIR were identified.

The city is at a crossroads – will a desperate city take anything outside corporate interests offer? Will it recognize this as yet another false promise of jobs, obsolete once self-driving trucks arrive? Please join us as we make our voices heard, to save Weed from this harmful and unsightly boondoggle.
