A proposed affordable housing project a few miles west of Claremont has been scrapped after the developer backed out of the plan last week. In a February 2 news release, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said her office had received confirmation from the LA County Department of Regional Planning that the developer, National CORE, had officially withdrawn its land use application for the project at 740 E. Foothill Blvd. in unincorporated Los Angeles County.
