    Politics and Government Republican recall candidate Kevin Faulconer visits Fresno, offers plan for Valley water By Thaddeus Miller July 28, 2021 01:21 PM, Updated July 28, 2021 01:27 PM. Duration 1:17 Fresno CA sees visit from recall candidate Kevin Faulconer San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer made a stop in Fresno to talk water, cost of living and why he's a key candidate in the potential recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom. By Thaddeus Miller Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer made a stop in Fresno on Wednesday to plead his case on why he’s a key candidate in the potential recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Faulconer’s talking points during the visit consisted almost entirely of the state’s water woes as he stood outside the Department of Water Resources office in central Fresno, where he was accompanied by Fresno County Supervisor Buddy Mendes. “This governor has failed our agricultural community by not providing the water resources that our farmers need, that the Central Valley needs,” Faulconer said. “This campaign is going to be all about changes to actually provide the infrastructure, the resources and the political will to help our farmers and our agricultural community.” Increasing storage and water conveyance by expanding space in places like Temperance Flat Dam and San Luis Reservoir are just part of the plan to improve on infrastructure already in place, he said. There’s money to do it, Faulconer says. California voters have approved nine separate water bonds in the past 25 years totaling $27.1 billion. “That’s what I think is so aggravating.

  • Hotel Churchill Grand Reopening September 19, 2016 Message from SDHC President & CEO Richard C
    We’re About People Hotel Churchill Grand Reopening September 19, 2016 Message from SDHC President & CEO Richard C. Gentry September 19, 2016 Dear Friends and Colleagues, The preservation of affordable housing at the historical Hotel Churchill is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) and our partners to find innovative solutions to address homelessness. I thank those who made this grand reopening possible, including our congressional delegation – U. S. Representatives Scott Peters, Juan Vargas, and Susan Davis, and our partners at the State and County, respectively Assemblymember Toni Atkins and Board of Supervisors Chairman Ron Roberts. In addition, I commend Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer, City Councilmember Todd Gloria, whose district includes Hotel Churchill, and the full San Diego City Council for their support. With this renovation, we have created 72 affordable rental housing studios that will remain affordable for 65 years. The renovation of Hotel Churchill is also a key component of HOUSING FIRST – SAN DIEGO, SDHC’s landmark three-year Homelessness Action Plan (2014-2107), which was announced on November 12, 2014, at the Hotel Churchill. I am proud of the staff at SDHC and Housing Development Partners (HDP), SDHC’s nonprofit affiliate, for their dedication to provide housing opportunities for homeless San Diegans. HDP served as the developer for this project, working closely with the construction team. The Hotel Churchill is a shining example of ingenuity, foresight, and innovation to address homelessness. Sincerely, Richard C. Gentry President & CEO 2 San Diego Housing Commission 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS U.S. Senate City of San Diego U.S.

  • Old Town San Diego SHP New Outdoor Open Space Annoucement
    For Immediate Release Contact: Sept. 24, 2018 Richard Dennison I Del Sur Sector Park Superintendent 619-688-3398 California State Parks Begins Construction of New Outdoor Space at Old Town San Diego State Historic Park Space Coming to Old Town Fall 2019 SACRAMENTO, Calif. – After over 20 years of visioning and planning, California State Parks, Senator President pro Tempore Toni Atkins and partners today announced the transformation of a Caltrans District 11 Office Complex (Complex) in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park (Old Town) into a new public open space. The new open space is expected to open fall 2019. Visitors will have the opportunity to connect with nature, family and friends, and learn about Old Town’s residents and the Kumeyaay people and their relationship to the San Diego River. Located within California’s second largest city, Old Town pays tribute to the cultural influences that make San Diego and California special. Restored and reconstructed buildings include museums, shops and restaurants that capture the energy of the community between 1821 and 1872. History comes to life through period demonstrations, entertainment and other activities, allowing visitors to discover the lives of those who came before them and to better understand California's beginnings, including the way of life of the Kumeyaay, who were here for thousands of years before Old Town was established and still continue many of their cultural traditions today. More than 10,000 students visit the state historic park annually for educational tours. The park visitation is over 3.5 million annually. “We are finally going to witness the fall of an old building that has outlived its use and the rise of a magnificent park that respects and reflects San Diego’s rich history,” said Senate President pro Tem Toni Atkins.
