Better roads and highways, more help for the homeless and even a new port of entry at the border are just some of the things San Diego leaders are lobbying for right now in Washington, D.C.
A delegation of over 170 local and regional San Diego elected officials, business and nonprofit leaders went to Washington D.C. this week to lobby for infrastructure dollars. This is the 14th year the region has sent a delegation. The annual trip is organized by San Diego’s Regional Chamber of Commerce.
"[The meeting] was really about not just shovel ready, but shovel worthy and kind of a notion we want to plan for projects that are going to have transformational change," said Gloria. Gloria said homelessness and affordable housing is also at the top of the list, saying,"Let me be extremely clear: In a nation, state and city as wealthy as San Diego, California in the United States we shouldn’t have any homeless people."
