11.5 million dollars in state funding has been earmarked for Caltrans projects on the Central Coast. The funding comes from Governor Gavin Newsom’s 1.1 billion dollar “Clean California Initiative.” The projects will include improvements and beautification projects in Santa Ynez, New Cuyama, Santa Maria, Oceano and Atascadero. Newsom also announced nearly 300 million dollars in grants for local projects to clean and beautify streets, parks, and transit centers throughout the state.
