City of Monterey Park Secures $1,400,000

Congratulations to the City of Monterey Park, for successfully securing a grant award in the amount of $1,400,000 through the Building Forward Library Infrastructure Grant Program administered by the California State Library for improvements to the City’s Bruggemeyer Library.

The funding will go towards furnishing the City library with a backup generator to ensure it is able to function as a backup Emergency Operations Center. Additionally, funding will enable the library to update outdated HVAC units and address accessibility concerns throughout the building. These critical infrastructure needs will allow the library to continue to serve the community and work towards its strategic goals of inclusion, accessibility, literacy, and connection as a community builder.

This latest achievement is another example of the commitment of the City to provide excellent services to enhance the quality of life for its entire community.

Once again, congratulations Monterey Park!
