California Consulting is pleased to highlight the City of Tustin for receiving the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the amount of $1,500,000.
California Consultng wrote this application and this project will be the outdoor cornerstone of the long planned mixed-use Tustin Legacy Center.
Veterans Sports Park will bring open park space to Tustin’s community. The Veterans Sports Park will bring nearly 76,000 Tustin residents into range of a 30+ acre park. As the Veterans Sports Park is a new redevelopment of land previously used as a Naval base, it has been named Veterans Sports Park in honor of its previous owners and will include multiple physical commemorations potentially including plaques, statues, and historical items.
In sum, the Veterans Sports Park explicitly provides community space for healthy lifestyles with earmarked special use by disadvantaged communities and children, all the while preserving historic items of importance
Many congratulations to the City of Tustin!

U.S. Department of Commerce: FY 2019 EDA Disaster Supplemental
Deadline:
Continuous
Amount:
$587 million for entire program
Match:
Yes
Eligibility:
Special districts, counties, cities, nonprofits, states, institutions of higher education and tribal governments. Must be an area declared a major disaster by Presidential Declaration as a result of Hurricanes Florence, Michael, and Lane, Typhoons Yutu and Mangkhut, and of wildfires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and other natural disasters occurring in calendar year 2018, and tornadoes and floods occurring in calendar year 2019.
EDA announces general policies and application procedures for the Disaster Supplemental NOFO. Subject to the availability of funds, this investment assistance will help communities and regions devise and implement long-term economic recovery strategies through a variety of non-construction and construction projects, as appropriate, to address economic challenges in areas where a Presidential declaration of a major disaster was issued under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. § 5121 et seq.) (Stafford Act) "as a result of Hurricanes Florence, Michael, and Lane, Typhoons Yutu and Mangkhut, and of wildfires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and other natural disasters occurring in calendar year 2018, and tornadoes and floods occurring in calendar year 2019...".
To be competitive, applications must clearly incorporate principles for enhancing the resilience (as defined under Section A.4, below) of the relevant community/region or demonstrate the integration of resilience principles into the investment project itself. Resilience is an essential component of any strategy for mitigating the potential for future disaster-related losses and adverse economic impacts for communities. Therefore, inclusion of resilience principles in the project is a necessary step to improve the capacity of the region to recover more quickly from future disaster events. Applicants must include a narrative attachment as a part of their application materials, describing in detail the nexus between their proposed project scope of work and disaster recovery and resilience efforts. The strength of the nexus to the disaster is drawn from the consequences of the relevant disaster(s) and the intended project outcomes that fulfill the community’s specific post-disaster needs.
