A hundred years ago, it would take fence riders eight days to complete the swing around the lands of Tejon Ranch, a distance of 198 miles. On September 21 – 23, 2007, a total of 200 riders had the distinction of becoming the first endurance riders to ride the interior of Tejon Ranch. Of the 200 riders who participated in the event, seven riders rode all three days on the same horse – a total of 155 miles.
The advent of the global economy and the dramatic increase of imports to the United States have forever changed the site selection process of the modern industrial space user. Today, most products sold and consumed in our country no longer begin their life cycle within our borders. They are manufactured in a foreign nation, imported stateside, staged at a warehouse, customized or assembled there for consumer delivery, and then distributed into the marketplace through a vast and complex supply chain made up of regionalized warehouses and retail locations throughout the United States. Effectively, logistics related operations have all but replaced traditional manufacturing concerns across the country.
When Tejon Ranch Co. applied for permission to expand its ware-complex north of Los Angeles to 20 million square feet, a key consideration was air pollution.
