Letter from the Mayor of Palmdale

Dear Mr. Garland:

Thank you for your correspondence in which you have expressed concern over the possible closing of the Los Angeles County Raceway (LACR) located on Avenue T in Palmdale. Unfortunately, the raceway is located on private property that is leased from Granite Construction. The subject site has been approved for many years for aggregate mining under State Permits.

The City recognizes the many significant benefits the raceway offers local youth. In an attempt to determine if there is a way to preserve the raceway at this location, staff members, as well as members of the City Council, have met with both the raceway and quarry operators. We will continue to pursue those discussions in hopes that a solution can be found. Alternatively, city staff has, in the past, discussed various concepts for relocating the facility with the raceway operator and would be supportive of reestablishing the raceway at another location, if that option arises.

Thank you for your comments and for your continued interest in our community. Please feel free to contact Asoka Herath, Director of Planning, at (661) 267-5200 should you have any further questions regarding the raceway operations or any proposed relocation of the raceway.

Sincerely,

James C. Ledford, Jr.
Mayor
JCL/rk

Stephen H. Williams, City Manager
