California Consulting congratulates the City of Yucaipa for receiving a $9 million grant for the construction and critical infrastructure elements for a new library. CC Project Manager, Tracy Yassini, wrote the awarded application.
The grant is part of the California State Library's $439 million Building Forward Library Improvement Grant Program, the largest investment in public library infrastructure in California history. The recently announced grant is among the largest awards from the grant program and reflects the City's dedication to providing a safe, accessible, and state-of-the-art library for the community.
For CC Project Director, Tracy Yassini, the award represents a proud full-circle moment from days spent reading at the library and from her early college aspirations of becoming a librarian.
Mayor David Avila stated: “I am excited to announce that the City of Yucaipa, in partnership with the County of San Bernardino and the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, have successfully been awarded a $9 million dollar grant from the California State Library. This award is a major contribution that will not only support our efforts to build a new state-of-the-art library facility and teen café center, but it will also be a centerpiece for our City that will enhance and enrich the quality of life for the residents of Yucaipa and surrounding communities.
