Honor Military Members with a Street Named in their Honor
May is Military Appreciation Month. Not only do we pause to remember the sacrifice and service of those who gave all, but the month also holds other anniversaries and events including Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Armed Forces Day. Elk Grove is home to more than 9,000 military veterans. The Veteran and Public Safety Street Naming Program accepts nominations year-round to honor exemplary service members for future street name use. By naming a city street in their honor, we hope to promote public awareness of the individual and show our appreciation for their outstanding contributions. Learn more.

Survey: Protecting Your Digital Privacy
The City is taking steps to implement the Connected Elk Grove Smart City Plan. This plan was adopted by the City Council in January 2022 to make local government more efficient, responsive, and transparent.
Data collected from the public can be useful, but maintaining one’s personal privacy is a priority. The City is asking for your input on the development of data privacy principles that ensure that sensitive information about Elk Grove residents is protected and used only for specific purposes. The survey will close Monday, June 5. Take the survey.
