Stockton, CA – As part of the 2027 Federal budget process, San Joaquin County recently submitted nearly $19 million in funding requests to support ten local projects to enhance programs, services, and infrastructure throughout the County. San Joaquin County submitted the following requests in priority order:

• $2 million to replace the Corral Hollow Road Bridge in the southwest portion of San Joaquin County and perform sediment removal activities which align with building infrastructure that is resilient against climate change and weather-related disasters.
• $2.4 million for the Victor Storm Drain Retention Pond just east of Lodi, to acquire land to design and construct a storm drain retention pond and related facilities to convey, capture, and store stormwater runoff.
• $548,066 for a Mid-Size ADA Prisoner Transport Vehicle for the Sheriff’s Office to more efficiently transport large numbers of incarcerated individuals at the same time and accommodate those with ADA needs.
• $2.8 million for design and engineering plans for a new Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The current ATCT is 65 years old and in need of replacement.
• $2 million for the Lincoln Village Maintenance District Water Main Replacement Project to replace aging water infrastructure with new water mains while reducing maintenance costs for the next phase of the project.
• $2 million for design and construction of the next project phase of the Colonial Heights Maintenance District Water System Reconstruction which will replace aging water infrastructure with new water mains while reducing maintenance costs.
• $2.5 million for Boggs Tract Storm Drainage Improvements to increase capacity of an existing detention pond to provide continual terminal storm drainage via connection to the City of Stockton’s storm drainage system to mitigate localized flooding during heavy storm events.
• $2 million for the Acampo Innovation Drainage Project Phase B, to promote holistic, sustainable, and inclusive approaches to water management in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta and to maximize resilience and benefits for future investment in water infrastructure.
• $1.3 million for a Tiny Home Village (10 tiny homes) to provide housing for individuals receiving behavioral health services on the SJ BeWell campus who are housing insecure and at-risk of homelessness.
• $1.3 million for Safety-Net Clinical Equipment Modernization for SJ Health. The request will modernize exam room equipment, expand diagnostic capacity, strengthen vaccine storage infrastructure, and provide installation and integration of vital sign monitoring systems, and portable generators to improve emergency preparedness. 
  

“San Joaquin County is committed to making thoughtful, forward-looking investments that strengthen our infrastructure, enhance public safety, and expand access to essential services,” said Sonny Dhaliwal, Chair of the San Joaquin Board of Supervisors. “These funding requests reflect our shared commitment to building more resilient communities, modernizing critical systems, and improving quality of life for our residents. We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with our Federal lawmakers in hopes of bringing important resources back to San Joaquin County.”

The Congress is expected to submit their selected projects to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees in the coming months for consideration as part of the Fiscal Year 2027 Federal budget process.
