The interchange and its federal funding mix
The interchange joins road, transit and parking work within a single transportation project. A subcontractor can preserve its own work-package code while retaining the prime contract reference. Keep labor classifications and reporting instructions with the payroll file so the funding mix does not get confused with the day-to-day record of work performed.

Diablo Canyon activity in the county economy
The economic assessment describes San Luis Obispo County, not Avila Beach alone. For a supplier or contractor, separate recurring plant-related services from one-time equipment or installation work. A project near an energy facility does not by itself establish its payroll requirements; review the contract before deciding what reporting belongs with the books.
- A 2024 PG&E-commissioned assessment of Diablo Canyon Power Plant extended operations estimates $420.2M in local value added and 1,567 regional FTE jobs in San Luis Obispo County.
