The county can remain resilient when faced with emergencies now that the state is paying for a resilience center at the Tulare County fairgrounds.
In May, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) announced that the Tulare County Fairgrounds is receiving $11 million for a multi-use resilience center to enhance emergency preparedness in the county, should the circumstances arise. The funding will be used to upgrade an existing building and demolish and reconstruct two other buildings on the site.
This funding is from an overall pool of $89 million in grant funds from the Fairgrounds Resilience Centers Program, which the CDFA Fairs and Expositions Branch put together to help support people and communities during disasters, like evacuations caused by flooding.
