Windsor City Council declines to oppose tribal housing project

The Windsor Town Council has declined to take a stand against a proposed reservation and tribal housing project on the edge of town, disappointing opponents who said council members are ignoring the overwhelming sentiment of residents against the plan.

Opponents of the Lytton Rancheria project on Wednesday urged the council to oppose the tribe’s application to take 124 acres off Windsor River Road into federal trust, a position the Windsor Council had taken in 2009 when it adopted a resolution saying the development did not support city-centered growth and had potential for environmental damage.
