The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), at its Thursday, March 28 meeting will officially receive and file the application submitted by the city of Corona to annex its sphere of influence in the Temescal Valley. This is not the major public hearing on the annexation issue that is planned for the Sept. 26 LAFCo meeting.

A group of Temescal Valley residents will attend Thursday’s meeting to introduce themselves to the seven LAFCo commissioners and to let them know that there is opposition to the annexation.

According to Residents for Temescal Valley spokeswoman Jannlee Watson, “We plan on attending all LAFCo meetings between now and September to better educate ourselves on the LAFCo process and to show our determination in defeating the city’s annexation attempt.”

LAFCo meets at 9:30 a.m. the fourth Thursday of each month at the County Administrative Center’s Board of Supervisors Meeting Room, 4080 Lemon St., Riverside.
