State Awards Infill Infrastructure Grants to Support Projects in RCRC Member Counties

On July 31st, Governor Newsom announced the award of $94 million to 15 counties to support infill development projects. The grants are awarded through the state’s Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG) Program and will support capital improvement projects in the following RCRC member counties: Butte, Colusa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Humboldt, Kings, Imperial, Madera, San Benito, Shasta, Sutter, Tehama, Tuolumne, Yolo, and Yuba. In 2019, RCRC worked with the legislature to create the rural set-aside in the existing IIG program for counties with populations less than 250,000.
