San Diego County Municipal Code Ch. 4 Goals and Policies

Camp Lockett will serve as the center for the Campo community. The center has the potential to revitalize the Campo area with a mix of civic-oriented uses that both benefit local residents and promote regional tourism. This includes accommodating future museums, historic displays, and community-serving facilities such as parks, schools, daycare centers, and community centers at the site.
