Santa Clarita Dodger Day is coming up on April 19 when Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Colorado Rockies. Each year, as the community gears up for the event, the search gets underway to find a local singer to perform the National Anthem in the pregame ceremony at Dodger Stadium. Auditions can be submitted via DVD or VHS video and all submissions must be received by the City of Santa Clarita by April 3. Once entries have been received the selection committee determines who will represent Santa Clarita at the game.   

Santa Clarita Dodger Day is a great way to spend time with your friends and neighbors and part of the proceeds go towards local non-profits and schools.

The City is aggresively pursuing funds to build needed infrastructure which will provide jobs and boost the local economy. (Pictured is a constuction photo of the now finished, Golden Valley Road bridge.)

In an effort to assure that Santa Clarita receives any and all funding available, the City has put together an inter-departmental task force at City Hall that will research, apply for and otherwise make sure that Santa Clarita receives every dime of stimulus funds possible. The goal, in securing these stimulus dollars for Santa Clarita, is to bring money into the community and to help spur new jobs. 

The new money being spent in Santa Clarita is anticipated to have far-reaching benefits for the community.  Stimulus funds help provide needed infrastructure, additional jobs and the multiplier effect of dollars being spent locally. The City’s highest priority is to work with all of the local, regional, state-wide and national entities to partner and identify projects for Santa Clarita that result in bringing money to the community and finance greatly needed public projects.
