1. $4.4 Million in State Funds Heading to Carpinteria's Pool, Library (noozhawk.com) — Carpinteria is getting a $4.4 million boost from the state to overhaul its aging Community Pool and upgrade the Community Library, securing both as key neighborhood hubs. Most of the money will tackle critical pool repairs, while local donations continue to fund added energy‑saving upgrades and safety equipment that could extend the facility's life for years.
