County of Mariposa Secures $7,800,000

Congratulations to Mariposa County for successfully securing a grant award in the amount of $7,800,000 through the Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program administered by the California Transportation Commission to make significant upgrades to Fournier Road that will improve road accessibility and safety for residents and visitors.

Fournier Road, which is currently only one of two creek crossings for County residents living in affordable housing, has flooded three times this winter, leaving residents stranded and without access to critical resources, including medical care and food. This grant funding will support the County’s efforts to install a new bridge and make much-needed improvements to Fournier Road in order to ensure current and future residents will always be accessible to emergency personnel and other supportive services. Additionally, the project will increase community connectivity and encourage further housing and economic development throughout Mariposa County.

This latest achievement is another example of the commitment of the County to foster a thriving, scenic, historic and culturally vibrant rural community where residents, businesses and visitors enjoy opportunity, security, engagement, prosperity and wellness.

Once again, congratulations Mariposa County!
