The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 awarded a $3,000,000 Project Grant to The Sphere Institute for their Bay Rise Park Project under the Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126). This grant supports the transformation of a 9.4-acre state parcel in Burlingame, California into a new public park and tidal marsh habitat, as part of the larger $6,000,000 Bay Rise Park project. Key activities include completing construction drawings, planning consultations for permits and regulatory approval, and initial project implementation and construction. The Sphere Institute is partnering with the San Mateo Resource Conservation District to manage the general contractor for this effort. Expected outcomes include restoring approximately 5 acres of tidal marsh, transition zone, and upland habitats, providing improved environmental conditions, habitat for local wildlife, and accessible recreational and educational amenities for the public.
