Good morning, Davis.

Today, the UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine received a $75M gift from Bay Area donors Kathy Chiao and Kenneth Hao to fund a new small animal hospital scheduled to open in 2030 and expand scholarships, research, and capacity to care for more animals.

The Davis Planning Commission approved Inspire Martial Arts' permit to move into a studio at 4614 2nd on Wednesday, April 22.

The decision now allows the move to proceed in the community.

The city announced that Recology Davis will mail the annual bulky waste landfill voucher to Davis residents at the end of April.

The vouchers help residents manage large waste items at home.
