Plans for World-Class Soccer Complex move Forward in Salinas

(SACRAMENTO) – On Friday, June 28, Governor Gavin Newsom signed budget legislation approving $5 million in the State Budget for the Salinas Regional Soccer Complex. The approval is a result of collaboration between Assemblymember Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) and Senator Anna Caballero (D-Salinas) in which they requested the funding to further this project in Monterey County.

“This investment will go a long way in helping to foster health and vibrant local small businesses. A soccer complex of this size has the potential to draw large tournaments, bringing extensive economic benefits to the surrounding area. Spanning more than a decade, this project has been the result of the hard work and efforts of dedicated community members, business leaders, and elected officials coming together to create something special in Salinas,” said Rivas.

“It is important that our community has safe, affordable recreational areas and activities,” added Rivas. “As Monterey County makes strides with healthy lifestyle changes, including partnership with the Blue Zones Project, the soccer complex will be an important part of the solution to how our region fights against health issues like obesity and diabetes.”

“I was proud to work to include $5 million in the State budget for a new soccer complex in Salinas,” stated Senator Caballero (D-Salinas).
“The soccer complex will provide a space for community members to stay physically active, build relationships and enjoy the outdoors. This has been a project that I have worked on and supported for many years. Families from all over the region use the soccer field.”
“With the help of our State Assemblymember, Robert Rivas, Senator Anna Caballero and Governor Gavin Newsom, Salinas has been granted a wonderful opportunity to live a more active lifestyle,” said Salinas Mayor, Joe Gunter. “Once the soccer complex is expanded, it will encourage all of our children to stay active on the soccer field and live a more healthy lifestyle.”
