But this boom comes with a steep environmental review: air quality, wildlife, noise, and farmland impacts must be assessed under legal mandates for a comprehensive general plan. The city council approved the land use in April; now they’re diving into environmental impacts, weighing unavoidable trade-offs against economic and social gains. Public input is crucial—attend the July 15th virtual meeting at 5:30 PM or submit written comments by July 27th via mail or email to GP-Modesto2050@modestogov.com.
