New Projects in the Works.

SBC Special Districts are currently in the process in applying for special funding for a couple of projects to benefit the Morongo Basin. The first is an upgrade to the Wonder Valley Kitchen and Playground. The second is a Phase II project for the DVCA Recreational Trails. This Presentation briefly outlines the projects. 

Please go to these perspective surveys to provide input on these projects or to express interest in being more involved in the planning process:

New Trees at WVCC

 

The old mesquite tree at the east end of the Wonder Valley Community Center came down in a recent storm. The two ash trees on the edge of the parking lot succumbed in the summer. The County has replaced them all with new mesquite trees.
