City of Palm Desert Secures $8,000,000

Congratulations to the City of Palm Desert for successfully securing a grant award in the amount of $8,000,000 through the Regional Utilities Supporting Housing Pilot Program (RUSH) administered by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to expand the City’s utility capacity to mitigate future severe flooding impacts. The City’s project received the largest grant awarded through the program.

The funding will significantly enhance Palm Desert’s ability to withstand stormwater and other effects of natural disasters. Especially given the recent effects of Tropical Storm Hilary on the community, this increased infrastructure investment will enable the City to better protect current and future residents and improve overall public safety.

This latest achievement is another example of the commitment of the City to provide exemplary and sustainable services, amenities, and programs for the benefit of the community.

Once again, congratulations Palm Desert!
