It's possible that Murrieta could become the location for a large Kaiser Permanente medical facility, The Press-Enterprise reported Monday.
The health care provider has submitted conceptual plans—a pre-application—for a facility 900,000-square-foot campus at the northeast corner of Keller Road and Interstate 215 near Loma Linda University Medical Center-Murrieta, City of Murrieta Economic Development Director told the newspaper.
