California Consulting Senior Project Manager Karen Simpson, our project management team, and Wildomar's administration make a wonderful team to secure the funding. We are honored to be a partner in this incredible journey and to share in the celebration of these achievements.
The City’s largest award to date is an impressive $2,837,500 from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Wildomar also secured $1,048,920 through Caltrans’ Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 12. This funding will support three critical projects: Pedestrian Crosswalk Enhancements, Edgelines, and Bicycle Safety Improvements. These initiatives will significantly improve roadway safety and accessibility throughout the city.
In alignment with its commitment to sustainability, Wildomar received $250,000 from the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program. This project focuses on RAC Hot Mix pavement improvements, utilizing recycled materials to create durable, eco-friendly roadways.

Furthering its efforts in sustainable practices, the City secured $102,186 through the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program. This award will fund the launch of a compost and mulching program, supporting California’s climate goals and advancing Wildomar’s zero-waste initiatives.
Lastly, Wildomar received $76,180 from the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program. These funds will go toward HVAC upgrades in city facilities, reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs while supporting a greener future.
Altogether, these awards represent a remarkable milestone in Wildomar’s commitment to public service and community enhancement, totaling more than $4.7 million in grant funding. Each grant directly supports the City’s vision of a safer, more sustainable, and vibrant community.
