Judge Donald Alvarez ruled that San Bernardino County's approval of the Bloomington Business Park violated state environmental and housing laws, emphasizing flawed public impact assessments.
The industrial park's construction is halted due to significant environmental concerns, with a requirement for a revised impact report to comply with state regulations.
Howard Industrial Partners plans to appeal the ruling, expecting delays in the project to be short-lived despite the court's findings regarding environmental harms.
The project promises jobs to a majority Latino community but has raised alarms about significant air quality impacts and destruction of homes and ranches.
