It’s expected that the first of the projects will launch by July.
HAYWARD — For a change of pace, Hayward city staff have decided to let residents take the lead in the coming year and develop 12 community-approved projects, including a tutoring program and roller skating event, to the tune of $350,000 paid out of the city’s general fund.
The costs of the projects range from $14,000 to $48,000. Each project will have a lead or team of leads spearheading it. Hayward residents who are interested in getting involved with any of the programs can email [email protected] and they will be connected to the respective project leads. The first of the projects is expected to launch in July.
Sector 1 will have a night market, and Palma Ceia Park will be spruced up. The market, which will reflect the neighborhood’s cultural heritage and have local food and entertainment, will be at Eden Shores Park, at 2841 Sea Haven Court. A total of $25,000 has been set aside for the night market, which may be a one-time event or take place several times. Palma Ceia Park, 27679 Melbourne Ave., will receive small upgrades such as park benches and public art.
“We always had that in the back of our heads, you know, we gotta do something to give [back to the city],” Murillo said in an interview. Sector 3 will get Stackfest, a monthly festival that promotes live music from local artists, and a mental health camp for teens. “Everyone wants to integrate themselves; they want to learn the language [and] integrate into everything, including education, community and the new system of the United States,” Lepe said in Spanish. “I’m an immigrant and the truth is, it was a barrier to come and look for resources.”
