Looking to revitalize Pomona's western front, the city is seeking help in acquiring the 166-acre General Dynamics plant that closed in 1992.
Calling the proposal the city's biggest economic development opportunity, officials met with Sen. Barbara Boxer in Washington this week to lobby for a base closure grant that would help clear the way for a new use for the former missile-building site. City officials also enlisted her help in acquiring the plant from the federal government, which owns it.
