The city of Los Angeles on Wednesday, Oct. 5, received more than $19 million in state grant money for climate resilience projects, including the Department of Water and Power’s turf replacement program that will pay for free yard transformations in underserved communities. During a news conference in the Harbor Area in Council District 15, Mayor Karen Bass, alongside city leaders and local water officials, received the check from the California Department of Water Resources. About $14.6 million will fund the turf replacement program, while the remaining funds will support construction of the Dominguez Gap Recycled Water Project in the city of Wilmington.
