The Palm Springs city council on Thursday unanimously approved a $5.9 million reparations settlement with former residents of a largely Black neighborhood that was leveled in the 1960s for commercial development.

PS Canyon Development is proposing a two-story, 739,360-square-foot fulfillment center on the northwest corner of Indian Canyon Drive and 19th Avenue in the city’s industrial district, located in the northeastern corner of Palm Springs about a third of a mile north of Interstate 10.

The city of Palm Springs, Calif., will pay nearly $6 million in reparations to Black and Brown families who were displaced from a neighborhood there during the 1960s. The tentative settlement will be split among families who had lived in the neighborhood known as Section 14.
