WHITTIER – The development team of Lewis Operating Group of Upland and Shapell Homes of Beverly Hills have been dropped, and a new unnamed developer has been chosen by the state as its choice to purchase the now-closed Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility.
“We have terminated our relationship with the original developers and are moving forward,” said Jeffrey Young, spokesman for the state Department of General Services, on Wednesday.
