Davis Street Park LWCF Grant

The City of Rio Dell is pursuing the Davis Street Park LWCF Grant, identified by solicitation number 12-2025-094, to acquire approximately three acres of land from the Rio Dell School District for public recreation. Located at 130 Davis Street in Humboldt County, California, the target property is already developed with a parking lot, two tennis courts, a baseball field, and restrooms and a snack shack that are currently dilapidated. The project is classified under CEQA Guidelines Class 16, which allows for a Notice of Exemption because the action involves the transfer of land ownership to create a park without altering natural conditions or significant resources. This exemption was filed with the County Clerk on July 7, 2025. Kevin Caldwell, the Community Development Director, serves as the primary point of contact for the lead agency.
