MONTEREY PARK, CA — On June 22, 2026, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28) presented $1,750,000 in federal funding to the City of Monterey Park to support the construction, design, and remodeling of Fire Station 61 and the reconstruction for Fire Station 63. The funds will be used to renovate and reconstruct these aging fire stations so that first responders are better equipped to handle emergencies. 

“Protecting our neighbors from an emergency or crisis means ensuring our first responders have everything they need to keep us safe. That’s why I am proud to present a check for $1,750,000 to Fire Stations 61 and 63. This funding is a direct investment in Monterey Park’s public safety and our ability to keep residents safe,” said Rep. Chu. “The renovation and reconstruction of the fire stations ensures that our brave first responders have access to the high-quality living and working spaces that they deserve, and that will allow them to continue to protect our community.”

Earlier this year, Rep. Chu also secured $1,000,000 for Pasadena’s Jackie Robinson Community Center, $500,000 for Rosemead’s Garvey Community Center, and $2,000,000 for Arcadia & U.S. Forest Service Joint Fire Training Center.
