Boyer clapped and burst out with joy as Collishaw listed funds being awarded for the project and the city by the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program: $7 million for transportation, $2.6 million for a multi-modal transit hub, $1.2 million for crosswalks, sidewalks and bicycle lanes and $3.2 million for a vanpool and ridesharing program. The multi-modal hub will be on Front Street and will act as a transit center for Visalia Transit Bus lines that run through the community.
“Having this connection with the ability of our residents to get around to other communities, as well as in Farmersville, is really important,” Boyer said.
Los Arroyos will also be highly energy-efficient, with sustainable features including solar panels, water conservation and a gray water recycling system. The project’s solar panel system will offset the power used in the common area, residential loads and community center, making Los Arroyos a grid neutral zero net energy project.
