Staff recommends Council approve submittal of the Louise Avenue and I-5 Interchange CIP PS 06-6 as the City' s priority project for federal funding.
BACKGROUND:
San Joaquin One Voice is SJCOG' s legislative advocacy program for San Joaquin County that promotes issues of regional significance to federal legislators and agencies through an annual advocacy trip to Washington, D. C. The purpose of the program is to advocate for increased funding and/ or new or amended legislation for issues and projects of regional significance to San Joaquin County.
SJCOG is focusing the One Voice initiative on elevating regional projects and maximizing funding success. As a result, projects submitted to SJCOG will need to ensure they are clearly aligned with SJCOG' s legislative priorities and eligibility requirements for the discretionary and federal earmark programs.
Aligned with the thematic concept of Trade Corridors, CIP PS 06-6 has a federal nexus and will enhance the transportation of goods to and from the City of Lathrop.
