Kings Canyon Unified School District and City of Reedley
Nov 15, 2016
TPA was proud to join the Kings Canyon Unified School District and the City of Reedley (both TPA clients) at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new Central Valley Transportation Center (CVTC). TPA President Christopher Townsend, Central California Director Richard Harmon, Senior Associate Sharon Gonsalves, and Associate Chelsea Vongehr represented the Firm at the event.
The CVTC is a joint project of the District and the City with a mission to provide “Good Jobs, Clean Energy, and Green Education.” CVTC will fulfill these goals by supplementing District and City transportation facilities to accommodate the maintenance and operation of a fleet of up to 115 buses and 35 fleet vehicles as well as provide the only CNG fueling infrastructure open to the public within a 20-mile radius.
The project was partially funded by grants from the California Energy Commission, Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program, and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
Congratulations to the District and the City on this achievement that has been a decade in the making, led by Superintendent Juan Garza, City Manager Nicole Zieba, Assistant Superintendent Dr. John Quinto, and Director of Transportation Jason Flores.
TPA has been honored to help the District and the City transform their vision for the CVTC into legacy and we look forward to more opportunities for continued success.

Nov 11, 2016
TPA congratulates the City of Orange Cove (a TPA client) for being awarded a $541,615 grant from the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The proceeds from this grant will be used to purchase a new fire truck for the Orange Cove Fire Protection District (OCFPD). OCFPD is an all-volunteer, 26 member fire district that serves Orange Cove and the Counties of Fresno and Tulare, with a territory that spans 50 square miles.
This latest achievement is another example of the efforts by the leadership of the City to ensure the safety and quality of life of their residents.
It’s also a reflection of the dedication and hard work by TPA Senior Associate Sharon Sharon Gonsalves and Associate Gary Rogers (with support from Director James Peterson and Associate Laura Kroeger in the TPA Federal Office in Washington, DC) to ensure a successful grant application.
Congratulations, Orange Cove!
