Good morning, Stockton.
👋 We have lots of news for you in our roundup today, but I’d like to highlight one story I am particularly excited about.
Stockton Rising, a group of projects aimed at improving the environment and sustainability in Stockton, received two rounds of grant funding via the state’s Transformative Climate Communities Program.
The grants total to $35 million, and Stockton Rising is working with organizations like UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation and the San Joaquin Regional Transit District to further the projects.
We have the full breakdown of the details for you here.
Keep an eye out for more updates from our team about this project. As always, thank you for your support.
