Diamond Bar drops stadium opposition

The proposed NFL stadium in the Los Angeles-area City of Industry cleared one hurdle yesterday, when the neighboring city of Diamond Bar agreed to drop its opposition to the project in exchange for a $20 million payoff to help mitigate traffic concerns. Diamond Bar councilmember Carol Herrera enthused: “Any way you look at it, the project is going in. There’s no way to stop it.” (Okay, maybe “enthused” wasn’t quite the right word.) The Industry plan still faces a lawsuit from another neighboring town, Walnut.
