MNS Government Services division recently secured a $1.4M federal grant for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians’ Santa Ynez Valley Connector project! This was one of only 14 grants awarded nationally through the Federal Active Transportation Infrastructure Improvement Program (ATIIP). This grant will provide funding for the planning and preliminary design of the SYV Connector Project which will transform how residents and visitors travel through the Santa Ynez Valley (SYV) by creating an additional 8.7 miles of contiguous, multi-use path between the Santa Ynez Reservation, the cities of Buellton and Solvang, and unincorporated Santa Barbara County.
