PITTSBURG — Nonprofit community-based organizations, chambers of commerce, and local government agencies may apply for Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund grants for the 2019-20 fiscal year. The application period begins April 18, and ends May 17, 2019.
The grant program, administered by the Office of Supervisor Federal Glover, is a supplemental funding program for organizations that serve the Bay Point and Pittsburg communities (primary area), Antioch (secondary area), and Concord (where schools provide service for students from Bay Point.
Organizations interested in applying must send a representative to the mandatory bidders conference on April 18, 9 AM – 11:30 AM at the California Theater, 351 Railroad Ave, Pittsburg, CA 94565.
The Keller fund was established when the county voters selected the landfill site on Bailey Road, just south of Pittsburg and Bay Point. Based on tonnage sent to the Keller Canyon Landfill, the total amount available for distribution averages about $1.2 million per year.
The current grant program under Supervisor Glover focuses on programs that beautify the communities, enhances public safety and promotes programs and events for youth.
In the past, some of the programs funded by the Keller grants included the supervisor’s annual youth summit, an anti-gang symposium and school crossing guards in Bay Point.

How about putting some of the over million dollars of trash money to pick up trash on Vasco? The county says they don’t do that. Maybe trash mitigation funds can help with the trash.
