COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
"The Trails:" Next Bay Properties, based in Danville, submitted a complete application last week to move forward on "The Trails" residential development project, located southwest of the Highway 120 Bypass and west of McKinley Road. The project will entail the development of 1,173 lots and all related infrastructure, plus the provision of an "Urban Forest."

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Possible Federal Funding for Manteca Projects: Staff has been notified by Congressman McNerney’s office that the Congressman was including six Manteca projects on his appropriations request list for the 11th District. Projects include installing a solar energy facility at the new corporation yard ($620,000), arsenic reduction ($430,000), sewer line replacement ($2 million) Austin Road interchange ($1 million) Regional Events Center ($750,000) and a job mentoring program requested by Give Every Child a Chance ($1 million). Although there is no guarantee any or all of these projects will receive final funding, including them on the Congressman’s appropriations list is essential to having them considered at all.
