Recommendation to Close
Lanterman Developmental Center

After careful evaluation, the Department of Developmental Services (Department) has made the difficult decision to recommend to the Legislature the closure of Lanterman Developmental Center. As an important part of the development of the closure plan, the Department is seeking public comment from interested persons and organizations. Additionally, these comments will be summarized in the plan submitted to the Legislature.

A Public Hearing on the Recommendation to close Lanterman Developmental Center was held by the Department of Developmental Services on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at the facility in Pomona.

Additional written input may be submitted by close of business on March 5, 2010, to the Department of Developmental Services at:
