March 29, 2024

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA) delivered $2.1 million to the City of Norwalk in funding she secured in the Consolidated Appropriations Act.

The city will use $1,260,000 to design and construct water facilities, including injection wells, recharge facilities, pipelines, reservoirs, and treatment plants. These projects will aim to extract, treat, and distribute groundwater and imported supplies from the Central Groundwater Basin, enhancing water infrastructure within the city.

The remaining $850,000 will be used to enhance Norwalk Transit stops with shade, seating, and solar-powered lighting. The solar panels will improve public safety with ample lighting, while real-time displays powered by these panels will provide accurate wait times to improve overall quality and efficiency for riders.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed by President Biden earlier this month. It included funding for community projects Congresswoman Sánchez advanced in response to requests from residents, organizations, and local partners across California’s 38^th Congressional District. In total, Congresswoman Sánchez secured over $12,700,000 for all 15 requested community projects in her district.

“I’m so proud to have worked with the City of Norwalk in bringing home these vital funds, “said Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez “By investing in our local transit infrastructure and water facilities we are improving the lives of everyday families in our community.”
