Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula will lead a town hall meeting about the proposed CEMEX mining expansion along the San Joaquin River on Thursday evening.
The event is 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the River Center Barn, 11605 Old Friant Rd. in Fresno.
Arambula, D-Fresno, will lead an in-depth discussion of AB 1425, which is the legislation he authored to protect sensitive river habitat, public health, and access to open space.
“I believe AB 1425 will protect and preserve the San Joaquin River’s unique wildlife and natural habitat, which many people in our community are concerned could be greatly harmed and damaged by the mining proposal,” Arambula said in a statement to GV Wire.
