Breaking News! End to Lehigh in Sight!

Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Supervisor Simitian’s referral to direct Santa Clara County to prepare a roadmap for the acquisition of the Lehigh Cement Plant and Quarry property! This is big news for Cupertino hillsides, where Lehigh has polluted our air and water and violated our landscape for one hundred years.

Thank you to all of our members who submitted public comments in support of this referral! We look forward to continuing our advocacy efforts to help secure and restore 3,500 acres in the Permanente Creek Watershed.

Next Steps:

Santa Clara County staff has 90 days to report to the Board with options for consideration relating to the potential acquisition of the Lehigh Cement Plant and Quarry property. We will let you know how to engage when the time is right!

Thank you,
Giulianna Pendleton Environmental Advocacy Assistant, SCVAS
