Monterey County highlights Measure AA early‑success projects and signage plan
Summary
County staff showed a new purple Measure AA sign and presented early‑success road projects funded by the Measure AA sales tax for unincorporated Monterey County, with several road repairs already completed or underway and a promise to display signage at non‑road and road projects.
Monterey County staff updated the public on Measure AA, a general sales tax passed in November 2024 that funds services in unincorporated parts of the county. Staff said Measure AA revenue is already being collected and the Board approved a set of early‑success projects intended to show immediate delivery to unincorporated communities.
The Board chose a purple sign for non‑road projects that reads, "Thank you for investing our collective future," which will be displayed at Measure AA sites; road projects will use a similar sign with wording tailored to roads. Staff asked the public to look for these signs to identify where Measure AA dollars are being spent.
Staff highlighted several early road projects: work completed or underway in Bradley, Blackie Road in Castroville (reported as completed), Dolan Road in the north county (near completion), Reservation Road near East Garrison (completed), and other road repairs that staff said will finish before the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 2026. The presentation framed these items as early delivery examples that the county expects the public to see in the coming months.
No formal vote outcomes were recorded in the briefing transcript for individual project approvals; staff reported that the Board previously approved early‑success projects and signage direction consistent with the presentation.
