Dear District 1,
As we settle into the heart of summer—whether you're enjoying the sunshine, spending time with loved ones, or diving into personal projects—this season serves as a reminder of the strength in growth and the importance of community.
In this week’s newsletter, you’ll find updates on local updates and upcoming events. Thank you for being an engaged and caring part of District 1.
As always, if there is anything that my office can do to assist you regarding County-specific matters, please feel free to reach out at bosdist1@acgov.org.
Sincerely,
David G. Haubert

E-Waste Collection Drive
Clear out your clutter and support a great cause!
Student-led nonprofit Recirqt is teaming up with Surplus Service, the Fremont Education Foundation, and Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert’s office to host a community E-Waste Collection on Wednesday, July 30th from 3–6 PM at 3090 Osgood Ct, Fremont. Attendees can drop off old electronics, enjoy complimentary food and drinks, and learn how Recirqt refurbishes and redistributes devices to students in need. Working electronics will be securely wiped and donated, while unusable items will be responsibly recycled by Surplus Service.
Families are invited to bring their curious kids to see what a computer looks like on the inside. Recirqt will have units open and meet with students to explain how a computer processes with hands on the inside of computers and laptops. Snacks, small bites, and drinks provided.

Economic Development Business Connect
I am proud of our office for hosting a successful Economic Development Business Connect event that brought together nearly 80 local business leaders for a dynamic roundtable discussion. Attendees heard directly from a diverse panel of speakers representing sectors such as healthcare, technology, development, and more, who shared insights on industry trends, growth opportunities, and regional collaboration. The event fostered meaningful dialogue and connections among business owners, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders from across the district. We’re proud to support these conversations that strengthen our local economy and ensure District 1 remains a hub for innovation and inclusive growth.

55 hr. Highway Closures On I-680 at the Mission San Jose (SR-238) Overpass in Fremont
Rescheduled to Weekends of July 25 & August 8, 2025
Caltrans will close one direction of Interstate 680 (I-680) at the I-680 and Mission San Jose (SR-238) Separation/Overpass in Fremont for two weekends to perform critical bridge and pavement work. Segment of Southbound I-680 will close the weekend of July 25, 2025, and will close a segment of Northbound I-680 weekend of August 8, 2025.
These 55-hour closures are necessary to safely and efficiently complete key construction activities, including full bridge deck resurfacing and approach slab repairs. This phase of work involves heavy machinery and the resurfacing of the entire bridge deck. This work must be performed without live traffic to ensure worker and motorists safety. Concentrating these operations during weekend closures will help reduce the overall duration and impact of the project.
During these weekend closures, only one direction of travel on I-680 will be closed at a time with detours set in place. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and use alternative routes.
