"The obstacles faced by those trying to develop Ahmanson Ranch, culminating in the state's acquisition of that property, are indicative of the difficulties of developing large master planned communities on open space. The Tejon Ranch Co., however, seems finally to be moving forward expeditiously and smoothly with their development. TPR presents an interview with Bob Stine, CEO of Tejon Ranch Corp. in which he discusses his company's conservation activity, the next phase of development at Tejon, and the timeline for growth over the next ten years."
