California has launched a newly revamped website, build.ca.gov, highlighting significant infrastructure investments across the state. The platform showcases over 16,000 projects funded by $180 billion in state and federal resources planned for the next decade. These projects span various sectors including broadband, clean energy, transportation, environmental restoration, hydrogen production, semiconductors, water supply improvements, and zero-emission vehicles.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced the new website at an event in Colusa County where he emphasized major water infrastructure initiatives. He stated: “We are leveraging once-in-a-generation funding to transform the state’s infrastructure… With the new build.ca.gov, we’re making it easier than ever to see how California is putting your tax dollars to work and investing in California’s future.”
The updated site builds on the existing Rebuilding CA website which primarily focused on transportation investments. New signage will be placed at project sites statewide to inform residents about their tax dollar allocations.
Highlighted projects include a broadband initiative by the Hoopa Valley Tribe providing reliable internet access; a solar and energy storage facility in King County creating over 400 jobs; Los Angeles County’s Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing; a hydrogen facility in Fresno powering city buses; Robert Bosch Semiconductor LLC’s expansion in Roseville with a $25 million tax credit; a water treatment facility in Dos Palos supplying safe drinking water; and electric vehicle fast chargers in Redding.
These developments are partly funded by the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) which has allocated nearly $62 billion to California since its enactment. This law aims to enhance national sustainability and resilience across various systems. Additionally, California’s Senate Bill 1 (Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017) contributes approximately $5 billion annually towards transportation projects.
