COARSEGOLD, CA – The Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians has donated $100,000 in support of the “Moving Madera Forward” campaign for the renewal of Measure T, a half-cent sales tax measure pivotal in funding transportation projects in Madera County since its inception in 2006. The renewal of Measure T would continue to address the county’s growing transportation needs, including road repairs, evacuation planning, safe routes to school and public transit enhancements.
“This significant contribution underscores the tribe’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life in Madera County through improved infrastructure and transportation,” said Tracey Hopkins, Chairwoman of the Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians. “We believe that the renewal of Measure T is essential for the continued growth and prosperity of Madera County. Our tribe is deeply invested in the future of our community, and we are proud to support an initiative that will have lasting benefits for all residents. We look forward to fostering a continued partnership with the County of Madera, as well as the City Council of Madera and Chowchilla.”
“Measure T is critical to continue Madera County’s growth and maintenance,” said Supervisor Jordan Wamhoff. “Through this campaign, we are leaning on all our partners across the county to help extend this critical lifeline. We are honored to have the support of the Tribal Council of Picayune Rancheria of the Chukchansi Indians, who are true development partners with the County of Madera, and we are excited to join with them to move Madera forward.”
