Environmental Health Message from Supervisor Perez

An Environmental Health Message from Supervisor V. Manuel Perez

LA QUINTA — The same goes true for Environmental Health as it supports small businesses with permits, food security, and the overall the well-being of our constituents. This includes small businesses that sell meals, drinks, and snacks such as Container Parks and their vendors throughout our county.

The Container Park and its vendors  within the City of Coachella have been supported by the Environmental Health Department.  It has assisted and will continue to assist the owner and vendors of the Coachella Container Park, which is located along Grapefruit Boulevard next to the Union Pacific railroad lines. It was  approved by the city council in March 2022, with its operating permit requiring annual approval to remain effective..

Nick Meza, owner of the Coachella Container Park adds, “Throughout this process, Riverside County Environmental Health has worked collaboratively with the Coachella Container Park and its vendors to help us understand and meet health and safety requirements. We appreciate their continued guidance and willingness to work with us toward solutions that allow our vendors to operate safely and remain in compliance.”

Supervisor V. Manuel Perez represents the Fourth Supervisorial District on the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. The largest district in the county by geography, the 4th District covers eastern Riverside County, from Whitewater, stretching across the entire Coachella Valley south to the Salton Sea, up Highway 74 to Idyllwild and the mountain communities, and heading east of the Coachella Valley to Blythe and the Colorado River.
