Marin County is using $4 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds for local climate change projects. Funds will be divided between six adaptation projects and three mitigation projects, all of which are meant to prepare Marin for flooding and other effects of climate change. San Rafael is also moving forward with federally funded infrastructure projects, starting with the canal dredging of San Rafael Channel. “It is a fantastic example of local government working closely with our federal partners to get things done for our community,” says San Rafael Mayor Kate Colin. Federal funding has also been allocated for a bike lane along East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
