Epicenter Master Plan

Approved by the Rancho Cucamonga City Council in December 2023, the Epicenter Master Plan is an exciting opportunity to revitalize the area surrounding the Epicenter Sports Complex by creating a fun, active district which will serve as a destination for recreation, entertainment, and gathering.

Through strategic urban design and development, the Epicenter Master Plan seeks to transform the area into a thriving destination that promotes economic growth, enhances quality of life, and fosters a strong sense of community. By creating a walkable framework, leveraging unique existing anchors and assets, and attracting new lively uses, the plan aims to create a dynamic urban environment that benefits residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

What's New with Brightline West?

In December 2023, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) received $3 billion in funding from the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program for Brightline West.

In January, the U.S. Department of Transportation approved $2.5 billion in private activity bonds for the 218-mile high-speed passenger rail service between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga. This was an important financing milestone for the Brightline West project.

Also in January, Brightline West began investigative field work in Southern California in preparation for the groundbreaking of construction. The work taking place along Interstate 15 (I-15) consists of geotechnical borings and samplings, utility potholing and land surveying. So if you see crews in the right of way of I-15 between Rancho Cucamonga and Las Vegas, chances are you are seeing some of the early field investigative work on the transformative rail project!
