WHAT IS ORANGE COUNTY UP TO??

CURRENT PHOTOS FROM THE FUTURE LOCATION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY "HEALTH CAMPUS"

I just received an email from a Healthy American who works near the site where Orange County has just approved the construction for a new "health campus." This Healthy American conducted their own investigation of the area, and decided to share several photographs of what was discovered.

Before we get into the breaking news, let's recap:

About the campus

According to the staff report, the new campus will feature:

• Public health lab with a “Biosafety Lab component” (25,000 square feet)

• “Communicable Disease Control Services” (22,000 square feet)

• An “Emergency Management Center” (12,000 square feet)

• “Agency Operations Center” (9,000 square feet)

• Security fences and 240 parking spaces

The cost of this new “public health campus” project is estimated to be around $80 million, with construction set to begin in summer 2023. It will be located at the former El Toro military base in Irvine, just a 20-minute walk from the Irvine train station.
