Anyone got a feel for what the New loma linda university will do for the Temecula Valley ???

It's just off the 215 near Clinton Keith Road (a little north of there).

It's still under construction, looks about a year from completion
Thanks,

More jobs, better access to health care, less wait in emergency room. A big win IMHO.

The other two major projects:

-Murrieta Education Complex (near the 215/15 split, west of the freeway). Will be a good step in the right direction for higher education in the valley

-Temecula Hospital - Of course the biggie. We need this badly.

Have you had a chance to check out the new Ruby Tuesday yet? That's going to be the real spark for the TV, just like we got our spring bounce with the opening of PF Changs! (just baiting the trolls here).

The likelihood of a Temecula hospital in the near future seems remote at this time.

eclipxe, I love you like a son, but don't do this. Let's not ignite the confederate/union fights on the boards again, it's been so peaceful here. I'm in such a different place emotionally, I have a working relationship with our staunchest detractors. Follow my lead, find peace, make peace, find love, make love, know you are right, know you are happy, root for our brothers and sisters in the resistant north county coastal markets to get theirs, use lots of commas, get a cigar, go wine tasting and enjoy the sunshine and the fact the lakers are up 3-1.

Does a teaching hospital help an area, of course it does, I'll raise my glass and toast that none of us have to use it, I was going to raise my glass anyways so why not.

I agree with paramount, the stall on the big hospital seems indefinate, which sucks.

Agreed - having any University open a branch office in the TV area is a good thing.

Too bad I just moved both my college age kids to OC so they can attend any of CalState Univ Fullerton, UCI, Chapman University, Concordia Univ, Cal Poly Pomona, Western State U of Law, and any of the other several community colleges in the area within a radius of 30+ minutes.

My observation is that TV is a great place to raise kids but once they've graduated HS if they're still in the TV/Murrieta area during the ages of 18-22 then they're just wasting their time here, have made some bad choices, going down the wrong path, have no parental support, etc.

Just my observations of the "kids left behind" - left behinds those that have literally moved on with their lives either through military or higher education outside of the area.

For those of you in the TV/Murrtown area and with kids who have not yet graduated HS - plan, plan, plan to help your post-HS age kids out of the area.

Thanks, So it's a Plus Both Hospital and the university are good but maybe not a game changer for the area.

I would add that this is a fairly large Campus/hospital/school they are building here if your interested in the areas it maybe worth the drive to check it out.
It's just getting started and the Campus will extend quite aways from the first buildings they are currently working on.

And yes I agree TV desperately needs at least a Community college in the area.

There is Palomar and UC San Marco’s about 35-40 minutes away and UC San Marco’s does have an extension in Temecula area.

The other big question for the TV is how the quarry will impact the area. The city lost the right to annex the land where the quarry will be located, which tells me more than likely this quarry will be developed.

No doubt the county is hungry for tax dollars.

It is Cal State San Marcos, not UC San Marcos
The newest UC is UC Merced.
Bottom line is that Universities are a good place for latchkey kids.

"UC Merced is the first new UC campus in 40 years. It was authorized by the California Legislature in 1988 to address the higher-education needs of the state’s fastest-growing region, the San Joaquin Valley (population 3.5 million), and provide added capacity for the UC system as a whole.

High school graduates from the Valley have historically enrolled in the UC system at about half the rate of graduates from other major parts of the state. The presence of a new campus in the heart of the Valley is expected to close that gap and inspire the educational dreams of young people in this underserved region for generations to come."
