ELK GROVE, Calif. — More than $2.2 million in federal funds were secured for three Elk Grove community projects, Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen recently announced.

"Thank you Congresswoman Doris Matsui for securing over $2.2 million for Elk Grove," she said. "Having strong partnerships with the federal government ensures we have a champion that is representing the needs of Elk Grove. I am grateful for the friendship and partnership."

According to Singh-Allen, the upcoming funds will benefit the following projects:

  • $500,000 for the Elk Grove Bruceville Walkability Improvement Project
    • The funding will be used for construction of a multi-use path and sidewalk to connect two parts of the city of Elk Grove’s master trail plan
  • $715,000 for the Elk Grove Domestic Violence Intervention & Prevention Program
    • Funds will go toward hiring victim advocates within the Elk Grove Police Department to serve domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse victims.
  • $1 million for the Elk Grove Zero Emissions Vehicle Municipal Infrastructure Project

The funding is part of the more than $22 million in federal funding secured for a total of 18 projects across the Sacramento region.

Sacramento's River Basin Floodplain Reactivation is the project to receive the most federal funding among 18 with $5 million set to support reactivation efforts at a landscape scale and restoring ecological function to the river basin.
