The Mayor also spoke about growth happening in Third Avenue Village citing the Lemon Fest, Taste of Third and Village Summer Nights in June.
A popular topic throughout California in recent years is infrastructure. Salas said the Chula Vista has launched a $15 million street paving project to repair streets.
More than 300 residential streets are being rebuilt as part of the project.
The Mayor also spoke about a half cent sales tax increase that will be added to the June ballot saying the tax increase “is a small price to pay to ensure the safety of our families.”
In the final moments of her address, Salas spoke about the Bayfront Development she says will bring 2,000 construction jobs and 5,000 permanent jobs to the city.
