(California Day Event)...It was a groundbreaking for a Clean California Initiative Project.

State, Mexican and regional officials joined CalTrans for the Ground Breaking on the Calexico International Gateway Beautification Project. The Project is part of Governor Gavin Newsom's multi year $1.2 billion clean-up effort to create thousands of jobs, remove litter, and engage communities in beautification efforts across the state. The ground breaking coincided with other events being held in Mexico City and San Diego after US Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar declaring California day to celebrate the binational relationship with mexico on key border projects and initiatives.
