COACHELLA, Calif. — Today AdelanteCoachella.com launched as a bilingual community information hub to give Coachella residents direct access to facts about the proposed Coachella Municipal Utility (CMU) and Coachella Valley Technology Campus. Available in English and Spanish, the site is a central source of accurate, easy-to-understand information about the projects, which the Coachella City Council unanimously approved through a transparent, two-year competitive process.

“Coachella residents deserve clear, accurate information about what the Coachella Municipal Utility and Coachella Valley Technology Campus mean for their city, in the language they speak at home,” said Alex Rodriguez, Government Affairs Advisor, Stronghold Power Systems. “¡Adelante Coachella! is where residents can find those facts, in English and Spanish, rather than relying on rumors or misinformation. The Coachella Valley Technology Campus will provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the City and when the community understands the facts, residents will be excited for these projects and for the future of Coachella.”

At AdelanteCoachella.com residents will find:

• Project facts and frequently asked questions
