THOMPSON PRESENTS $250,000 CHECK TO BUILD PLAYGROUND IN ROSELAND

Santa Rosa, CA – This week, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) presented a $250,000 check to the Sonoma County Community Development Commission to build a playground at the Tierra de Rosas Public Plaza in Roseland. This park is part of an affordable housing development under construction.  

“Proud to have secured $250,000 for the Tierra de Rosas Public Plaza playground,” said Thompson. “This funding will help provide a public space for local parents and kids to enjoy. Everyone deserves access to beautiful public spaces to come together as a community. Thank you to our local leaders who helped identify the need for this funding.”

“The contribution provided by Congressman Thompson helps create a neighborhood park that will be enjoyed by Roseland residents for decades to come,” said Supervisor Chris Coursey.

The funding will go to the Sonoma County Community Development Commission for the Tierra de Rosas Public Plaza Park Furnishings and Equipment. This is a final piece of the Tierra de Rosas Public Infrastructure Improvements Project to prepare for construction of a mixed-use development on a largely vacant shopping center property situated in the heart of Santa Rosa’s Roseland neighborhood.

The funding for this project is part of the $14,351,487 secured this year by Thompson for community projects in our district.

Each year, Members of Congress may direct federal funding to a limited number of community projects through the appropriations process. Under this program, each House member may submit a limited number of requests on behalf of their district for competitive review by the House Appropriations Committee. Projects selected for funding must meet strict transparency and accountability requirements before being included in federal appropriations legislation.
