On March 5, Mountain House, Calif. voters will decide whether their community will become California’s 483rd city.
Located 60 miles west of downtown San Francisco, the Mountain House project was approved by San Joaquin County in 1994. In 2008, the area established an independent government and a board of directors to coordinate with county officials.
Next week, residents will vote on Measure D, a ballot referral from the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, that will officially incorporate the City of Mountain House as an independent, self-governing body, if passed.
