Diane was able to secure significant funds for the City of Newport Beach and City of Laguna Beach in this year’s state budget.

The City of Newport Beach will receive a $1.6 million appropriation as the final piece of funding needed to build the Upper Newport Bay Pollution Control Project. This 14-foot steel water wheel device will capture consumer waste and pollution before it enters the Pacific Ocean – securing our region as a leader in coastal clean-up.

Laguna Beach will receive $1.2 million to improve access to Moss Beach by constructing new concrete paths, stairways and other structures needed to enjoy views of the ocean and coastline in Moss Cove.
