Since Pacific Union College announced its plans last year to develop an Eco-village around its campus it has faced opposition. The project, whose goal is to build a significant endowment for the school, has spawned several opposition groups, the primary one of which is Save Rural Angwin (SRA). These groups argue that the development will ruin the distinct rural nature of the Angwin, the village around PUC, and lead to pollution and over-crowding.
