The top 10 employers in La Palma include Kellogg’s, ADP, and Honeywell that together employ over 2,600 people in a town that is only 1.8 square miles in size.
Tapestry Walk will consist of three different floor plan types ranging in size from 1,346 to 1,819 square feet and offer up to four bedrooms and two and up to three bathrooms.
