The City of Galt was honored to welcome Congresswoman Doris Matsui on Tuesday, August 26.
Congresswoman Matsui met with Mayor Shawn Farmer at Walker Park to discuss the upcoming Walker Park Phase IIA Expansion, made possible through her efforts in securing over $3 million in federal funding for our community.
This project will bring:
- 3 new youth baseball/softball fields
- New restroom & concessions
- Batting cages
- Expanded parking
This investment showcases the power of collaboration across all levels of government to deliver meaningful quality-of-life improvements for Galt residents.
Following her visit to Walker Park, Congresswoman Matsui stopped by the Galt Market to shop for fresh produce and connect with local vendors. She was joined for a stroll at the Market by Mayor Farmer, Councilwoman Bonnie Rodriguez and Parks and Recreation Director Armando Solis. The Congresswoman then joined the community in honoring the memory of fallen Galt Police Officer Harminder Grewal during the 4th anniversary ceremony of his passing.
We sincerely thank Congresswoman Matsui for her continued support and commitment to Galt.
