Alianza Coachella Valley launches campaign to boost Salton Sea communities
A bold new initiative dedicated to improving the quality of life and economic opportunities for residents in the Coachella Valley and Imperial Valley.
Alianza Coachella Valley, along with coalition partners including Loma Linda University, Sierra Club, Lideres Campesinas and Coachella Valley Parents, announced the launch of this initiative, Campaign for Thriving Salton Sea Communities.
According to Alianza Coachella Valley, current projects of the Campaign include:
- Thriving Salton Sea Community Trail Network - Alianza Coachella Valley, in partnership with the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and Riverside County, is advancing a trails network that includes the expansion of the CV Link into unincorporated communities with trail connectors along the way. Our vision is to begin with two connector trails in Thermal and North Shore.
- Tracking Water and Air Quality Around the Salton Sea Region - Working with Loma Linda University, UCLA, and Brown University researchers, Alianza is tracking and publishing data in real-time to keep the public informed about water and air quality levels.
- Land Use Alignment Initiative - Alianza is working with regional partners and jurisdictions to identify priorities through existing land use plans and address some of the key economic challenges facing our region: access to public funding and investment readiness.
