 Happy 69th Birthday, Fremont!
On January 23, 1956, the City of Fremont was founded when five individual townships – Centerville, Irvington, Mission San Jose, Niles, and Warm Springs – came together to form the city. Here’s to another year of celebrating Fremont's rich history and our wonderful community!
 Tell Us Your Project Priorities for Fremont Before Survey Closes!
Development of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 – FY2029/30 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is underway and we want your input! The CIP is a five-year plan of action to preserve and improve our City’s public infrastructure, such as buildings, streets, and parks, through the prioritization of capital projects intended to prolong the lifespan of the City’s infrastructure, increase its value, and enhance its capabilities. Every two years, City staff prepares the five-year plan based on community feedback and Council priorities and presents it to City Council for review and approval. City staff receive community feedback largely through participation in relevant Commission meetings. This cycle, we reintroduced a survey component that can reach even more residents. The survey closes January 31 and results will be shared with City Council in February. Please visit the program’s MyFremont page for more information about all things CIP and to take the survey before it closes!

We're sharing news about a rebate program that can help Fremont property owners save money and make their properties more comfortable and energy efficient.
Single-Family Homeowners
Through the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEEHRA) program, income-qualified, single-family homeowners can receive rebates of up to $8,000 to reduce the cost of purchasing and installing a new, energy-efficient home heating and cooling heat pump.
Multifamily Property Owners
The HEEHRA program also offers rebates for owners of multifamily properties. Rebates are available for a range of home electrification projects, including heat pump space heating/cooling systems, heat pump water heaters, electric appliances, electrical panel upgrades, and home weatherization projects.
Why Go Electric?
Electrifying your property offers multiple benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Electric appliances often outperform their gas counterparts, saving you money on your utility bills over time.
- Environmental Impact: Lowering your property's carbon footprint contributes to combating climate change.
- Healthier Indoor Air Quality: Eliminating gas appliances reduces indoor air pollution, making your property safer and healthier.
HEEHRA rebates are funded by the federal Inflation Reduction Act and provided by TECH Clean California, a statewide initiative to accelerate the adoption of clean space and water heating technology. The rebates are only available through HEEHRA-trained, TECH Clean California-certified contractors.
Rebates are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so applying early is encouraged. To get started, visit the HEEHRA program website to check eligibility requirements.
