"The City of Milpitas has cleared a path for homeowners to build or legalize accessory dwelling units (ADUs). With funding from the Community Investment Fund and allocation approved by the Milpitas City Council, the Office of Building Safety will cover permit fees for eligible ADU projects. The move is estimated to save homeowners an average of $5,000, depending on ADU size and other factors."
"The Watershed Watch is taking submissions for its annual Earth Day Poster Challenge from K-8 students in Santa Clara County who want to share their creative vision for clean waterways in Santa Clara Valley. Posters can address what the student artists do to prevent water pollution or what they love about their local waterways. Artwork will be judged on originality, clarity and expression of the theme. First- and second-place winners in three age brackets-grades K-2, 3-5 and 6-8-will be awarded $250 and $150, respectively."
