It’s been almost a decade since the groundbreaking at the Foxborough Industrial Park in Victorville, Calif., 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles, where the city’s leaders once made plans based on the fact that Victorville was, at the time, the second-fastest-growing city in the U.S.
Little remains of the grand plans or the small, partly completed powerplant project that was going to be the source for electrical power for two companies that were deciding, in 2004, whether to move operations to Victorville.
