The Tejon Ranch Company got approval to expand the Tejon Ranch Industrial Complex in March, 2006. The ranch is home to the California Condor, has existed since an 1842 Mexican land grant, controls 280,000 acres of land between LA and Bakersfield, California, and is primarily a real estate development and agribusiness company. The court rejected arguments by the Center for Biological Diversity that development would affect native species and the recovery of the California Condor. The court and Kern County officials cited added jobs, increased tax revenue and the replacement of existing "dirty" diesel engines with "cleaner" diesel engines as positive indicators that the industrial site would be good for the area.
