If you recall – we submitted two project requests to Senators Feinstein and Padilla (Cohasset Road widening and the Palermo clean drinking water project), and two projects to Congressman LaMalfa (Cohasset Road widening and the countywide vegetation/brush removal project). We received good news today. The Congressman has selected the Cohasset Road widening project as one of his 15 supported projects – recommending $1.4 million be provide for the project. While the project hasn’t officially been approved – it is moving forward in the process. I have been told the Congressman will be pushing out a press release early next week – and I will keep you all informed as this project moves through the vetting process.

Bureaucratic processes are rarely done in the best interest of average American people, and that’s why I’m pleased to have the opportunity to nominate these important projects for consideration. Small projects in rural areas are often put on the backburners for federal funding consideration. Each one of my nominations have a range of strong public benefits that are worthy of priority support. I look forward to successfully securing these funds, and to improve the lives of the citizens of Northern California through good policies and the responsible use of our tax dollars”, said Congressman LaMalfa. “I sincerely appreciate the consideration to fund much needed public safety equipment for the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office. One of my top priorities is ensuring our deputies are safe and well-trained to better serve the communities in Siskiyou County. With the help of funding for our community projects, we can work towards modernizing the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office with various public safety equipment that we currently cannot purchase due to significant budget shortfalls,” said Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue. “Thank you, Congressman LaMalfa, for your strong support of rural law enforcement, and we are especially grateful for your support of the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office.” “We’re honored to be considered for this year’s Community Project Grant for the continued expansion of our Regional Public Safety Training Center. This expansion will dramatically help Shasta College provide more trained fire personnel for our local and statewide communities which have suffered severe economic and emotional costs due to wildfires. We’re excited that this project, if funded, would contribute quickly and meaningfully to our local public service and public safety regionally and statewide for many years to come,” said Dr. Joe Wyse, President of Shasta College. “The County of Tehama is pleased that Congressman LaMalfa is supporting the Corning Veterans Memorial Hall Rehabilitation project through the Community Project Funding program, as this is important to our community and to a significant number of people in California’s 1st Congressional District. This project will be a great benefit to our community for years to come, and a way to ensure we continue to have a place for our veterans and our community to gather and engage in civic participation,” said Dava Kohlman, Administrative Services Director for Tehama County.
