Quay Valley

Located less than 3 hours from two world class cities, San Francisco and Los Angeles Quay valley will become a model for green communities nationwide. Constructed from the ground up this 7,500 acre community will be self sufficient using the defining sunlight of the California central valley as renewable energy. Combining new urbanism principals with smart growth Quay Valley will be home to seventy five thousand residents and twenty five thousand 100% solar powered homes and fifteen new schools. Creating 30 thousand new jobs in the sunshine state. Clean energy will be the central focus and defining factor in the sustainable development community. With all homes and business using renewable solar energyrooftop panels to limit the amount of burned fossil fuels consumed and thereby reducing the amount of greenhouse gasreleased into the atmosphere. Quay Valley will construct a 600 mega watt solar power plant for all the business communities energy consumption.

In addition to becoming 100% energy efficient Quay Valley green principals will focus of water conservation and grey water recycling. With global warming now effecting the annual participation rate, extreme heat and over use of ground water aquifers. California is a future example of water rationing that will eventually effect the world’s population. Rather than use traditional infrastructure green infrastructure will be constructed with pipes that carry used water to municipal storm water facilities. Quay Valley will construct a state of the art 200 man made rivers and streams for grey waterrecycling. Using natural plants and vegetation for removing pollutants and recycling water through the entire sustainable community. Storm water runoff will be classified and treated as a monetary resource rather than a discarded waste. Adding to the intrinsic beauty and natural native landscape of the community. These natural streams and waterways will provide recycled water for the entire community thereby consuming less water than traditional towns. Water conservation offers additional community benefits of tree lined waterways, open park space scenic trails and supporting native wildlife.

Sustainable farming will be integrated through out the entire community. Organic agriculture will be established as a core value of the community. Initial Research and development of over one mile of irrigation ditches was instituted to test for the best soils using the nature terrain of the land to create a balance for all future planned irrigation strategies for future community development. Careful selection of indigenous plants and trees using drip irrigation and water recapture were incorporated to obtain the highest water efficiency possible.

Quay Valley will be designed as a California  entertainment destination offering three separate themed hotels, convention centers and conference room facilities for all types of  corporate clients.

There will be over two million square feet of specialty retail, world class restaurants, baseball stadium and surf parks for all the tourists to enjoy!

Quay Valley will be master planned and developed by Grow Holdings. ( Green renewable organic and water) A Los Angeles company designed to promote the development of green communities. Focusing on renewable solar energy, organic farming, sustainable construction technology, and state of the art water conservation and recycling practices.  Grow holdings will use industry collaboration with Federal and state political leaders, Pubic utilities, finance groups and innovative sector leaders to position Quay Valley as a model sustainable green community in California.

With the great recession now over, Grow Holdings has submitted an application to rezone  7,500 acres to Kings county community development for a residential and commercial planned sustainable community at the proposed site. In March 2015 Hyper loop transportation tech (HTT) announced plans to construct a five mile test hyper loop at the master planned Quay Valley community.
