Impact of State Budget Crisis, Updated June 5

Freeze is Lifted for Approved Projects
    Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced on Wednesday, April 22 that more than 5,000 projects will be restarted as a result of the State’s recent bond sales and funding from the federal Economic Recovery Act. This includes projects approved by the WCA Board prior to the bond freeze on December 17, 2008, even if those projects did not have a signed contract. Funding for new bond-funded projects is still on hold. Staff have worked with our grantees to re-start projects.  If you have questions please contact your project manager.
   Unfortunately, because of the budget crisis, staff reductions were made that have limited our ability to maintain this website in a timely manner. Information will be prioritized. High priority activities and documents will be noted on this page together with the date that the item was posted. Lower priority items and web pages will be updated in a less timely manner.
