Good morning!
Bond
No, that bond. The Sequoia Union High School District has been seeking public input on a proposed bond measure for the November ballot. At a special meeting on Tuesday, the board discussed the feasibility of such a bond after the district conducted a study to see what district voters would want most from it. The district told us they plan to discuss the amount of that bond and its impact on homeowners at the board's upcoming meeting on Aug. 4. More on this later.
It's in the water
Stanford researchers have detected the Monkeypox virus in the Silicon Valley Clean Water sewershed, which serves the cities of Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City and the West Bay Sanitary District. It's unknown how many cases there might have been at this time, but scientists can say for sure that at least one person has had the virus in the area. On Saturday, the World Health Organization declared monkeypox a global health emergency.
Cannabis Haven
Once called a "cannabis desert," Redwood City is heaving with cannabis. No, no, but in all seriousness, there will now be six storefront cannabis retailers operating in RWC after the city issued its final two permits last week. The city said the businesses are expected to generate between $500K to $600K.
That's all for now—more news to come. Enjoy your Wednesday!
