| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) seeks to connect local member governments to State funding opportunities though its Green Means Go pilot program. The program is intended to advance projects and programs that accelerate infill housing, travel options, and electric vehicle deployment to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets. Designated Green Zones would be eligible to receive future state funding to implement and incentivize local development and housing production.
The communities of Esparto and Dunnigan have been selected for Green Zone designations due to the availability of infill areas within their community boundaries and their locations on major transportation routes, State Route 16 and Interstate 5 respectively, which provide opportunities for alternative transportation and electric vehicle facilities. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| The Community Services Department will work with SACOG, the Esparto and Dunnigan Citizens Advisory Committees, and local citizenry to identify and implement policies and projects that accelerate infill, travel options, and electric vehicle deployment as state funds become available. County Counsel has approved the resolution as to form. |
