Santa Barbara regional funding and planning

Overview

Santa Barbara and surrounding regional agencies have been allocated over $70 million in state funding following the approval of Assembly Bill 113. These funds are designated for various local projects, including $5 million for Pershing Park restorations, $6 million for the purchase and renovation of the La Casa de la Raza building, and $29.2 million for gym renovations at Allan Hancock College.

In conjunction with these developments, the City of Santa Barbara has initiated a community survey and a series of workshops to inform its Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The process seeks to identify resident priorities for the city’s parks, open spaces, and recreation facilities through late October.
