Benefits - What TMV Means for You

Tejon Mountain Village has undergone ten years of planning and scientific analysis to make sure the plan is sensitive and responsive to environmental, local and regional concerns and needs. The result is a science-based plan that provides extensive benefits to the Mountain Communities, Kern County and the environment. 

Ecological Sustainability Economy
  • Preservation of 80% of the community as open space – 21,335 acres
  • A comprehensive Resource Management Plan to care for biological, hydrological, cultural and agricultural resources
  • A Sustainability Plan to guide water and energy conservation and the reduction of greenhouse gases
  • Protection of the California condor and 26 other species through project design features and participation in a federally-managed conservation plan
  • Creation of approximately 1,500 permanent and 1,600 construction jobs
  • The community pays its own way for public and emergency services, alleviating Kern County taxpayers from these burdensome costs and creating economic gains for the region
  • Expanded local tourism and economy  through a new destination resort and new business opportunities
  • Additional revenue to the County through new retail, property and hotel taxes
Public Services Water Supplies & Conservation
  • Funding for an upgraded and reconstructed Lebec fire station, an onsite fire station and land for a future station
  • Fund a new ladder truck to be stationed at reconstructed Lebec station
  • Funding for expansion of Sheriff facilities and a provision to fund a new deputy at the onset of construction
  • Funding for books and materials for the public library in Frazier Park
  • Substantial funding provided to local school districts through fees paid with the construction of each building
  • Protect local groundwater by utilizing outside sources of water to serve the community
  • Develop recycled water resources for irrigation to conserve drinking water supplies
  • A mandatory water conservation program will substantially reduce residential and commercial water use throughout the community
Transportation Air Quality & Energy Conservation
  • Fund improvements to the Lebec Road, Fort Tejon, and Frazier Mountain Park Road intersections
  • Provide for a transit connection onsite to reduce vehicular travel
  • Create an extensive multi-use trail system to encourage non-vehicular travel
  • Become emissions-neutral by offsetting three of the most problematic air pollutants within the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (NOx, ROG and PM10)
  • Implement an energy efficiency program that includes the use of solar energy on all community buildings, facilities and pools, providing solar and geothermal options for homes, requiring energy efficient appliances and utilizing state-of-the-art insulation on homes
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 29% over the California Air Resources Board’s 2008 “business-as-usual” baseline
