The Board of Trustees approved Carducci Associates on Sept. 9, 2021 as the architectural design firm for the Monta Loma Outdoor Improvements Project. MVWSD and the City will work together to develop and guide the design process and to hold multiple meetings to hear community input. The goal is to receive all input to create a comprehensive design that provides for many school and community uses.
