Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Planning/Land Use )

Creative Local/Regional Revenue Generation. Local and regional entities can pursue creative revenue-generation strategies—such as bonds, JPAs, climate resilience districts, and region-wide funds—to fill gaps left by insufficient state or federal investment. These mechanisms allow communities to raise capital for both planning and implementation where local tax capacity is otherwise limited.

Existing Examples of Progress: 1. Regional wildfire bond discussions in the North Bay (though not adopted). 2. Regional housing bonds (LA’s passed; Bay Area’s failed but used as lessons learned). 3. City of Concord construction recycling fund.
Region: San Francisco Bay Area
