Community projects funded
The City of Milpitas was recently awarded $500,000 from the House Appropriations Committee for its Main Street Revitalization Project. The funding will be used for design and construction of streetlights and signal improvements along Main Street from Carlo to Great Mall Parkway.
The Milpitas Unified School District also received $500,000 for the installation of a traffic light and new sidewalk along Calaveras Boulevard between Park Victoria and Gadsen Drive. These improvements are intended to provide safe passage to and from the school district’s Innovation Campus. The city requires that the school district install the light and renew the sidewalk due to campus construction.
The projects are among 15 in the South Bay for which Rep. Ro Khanna secured almost $14.8 million in funding for fiscal year 2024-25.
