State secrets
To the state Department of General Services, the name of the development team selected for the now-closed Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility is a closely held secret. At least that's the way they're treating it.
But not to the city of Whittier. Officials there know and have not only told this newspaper (see this link: http://www.whittierdailynews.com/rds_search/ci_14406333?IADID=Search-www.whittierdailynews.com-www.whittierdailynews.com the names of the development team -- Lewis Operating Group of Upland and Shapell Homes of Beverly Hills -- but also are talking about it all around town.
City officials already have met with staff from the two developers and even toured the Nelles property, Jeff Collier, director of community development, told the Planning Commission Tuesday. Future meetings also are planned, Collier said in an interview later this week.
But no one knows when when the state will release the information about its choice.
