The Imperial County Planning & Development Services Department honored Planning Division Manager Richard Cabanilla for 34 Years of Service to the County of Imperial at a recent meeting.
Mr. Richard Cabanilla began his employment with Imperial County in January 1984, as the County's first Geothermal Planner tasked with updating the 1977 Geothermal Element of the General Plan.
Given Mr. Cabanilla's passion and understanding of geothermal processes, all subsequent Geothermal Element updates, including the latest Renewable Energy and Transmission Element updates, were processed by him.
Not only did Mr. Cabanilla write the majority of the regulations for geothermal development in the County, he processed or mentored his fellow Planners in processing numerous geothermal projects submitted during his tenure. These geothermal projects include North Brawley, East Brawley, South Brawley, Heber, East Mesa, ORNI 19, ORNI 21, Energy Source, Control Thermal Resource/Hell Kitchen, only to name a few.
