Ontario New Model Colony

Ontario, California

This Chino Basin Collaborative Strategy project was a pilot project commissioned by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as part of the Demonstration Projects program of the Compass Growth Strategy. Working in partnership with the City of Ontario, Fregonese Associates conducted an analysis of the 2,600 acre New Model Colony area of the City of Ontario.

This project analyzed several future growth scenarios and sought public input for how the area could develop into a major new community within the Inland Empire. The team provided the city with marketing materials to promote and educate the community about the project.

The team worked with staff to craft an implementation framework that integrated transportation planning, land use designations and economic development strategies. In addition to providing the implementation framework, the team reviewed the City's capital improvement program to identify funding sources and to estimate timing for implementation.
