Carlsbad shopping center gets delayed

Los Angeles – After submitting plans for the Caruso Carlsbad Shopping Center, the project has hit a road bump.

According to Apparel News, on October 27 opponents of the project presented a petition to delay the retail center. The petition was verified by San Diego County’s Registrar of Voters, and the project is now up for a vote by Carlsbad’s residents. The opposition comes from a group of residents called Citizens for North County. According to Apparel News, the group released comments stating that Caruso Affiliated mounted a multi-million-dollar campaign to influence Carlsbad voters. Due to the petition, the city’s council will discuss the project next week on November 3.
