California American Water Announces $25,000 Grant to support City of San Marino Fire Department

California American Water Announces $25,000 Grant to support City of San Marino Fire Department

Funding provided by the American Water Charitable Foundation through its State Strategic Impact Grant Program

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
California American Water, in collaboration with the American Water Charitable Foundation, a philanthropic non-profit organization established by American Water (NYSE: AWK), announced today that the Foundation awarded a $25,000 State Strategic Impact Grant to the City of San Marino Fire Department, with the assistance of the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. Funding will help purchase the City of San Marino’s first fully electric full-sized emergency management vehicle.

“We are very grateful to have California American Water and the American Water Charitable Foundation supporting the city’s emergency preparedness and response. As a first of its kind for the City of San Marino, this electric vehicle will also serve as a proof of concept for the transition of additional public safety fleet vehicles to electrification,’ said Philippe Eskandar, City Manager. “As a member of the Verdugo Fire System and the Los Angeles County’s Disaster Management Area C, the City of San Marino will be able to assist the other 13 member cities in various capacities with this vehicle and support the 9 other nearby cities to promote the coordination of disaster management, planning and preparedness efforts which this vehicle would play a direct role in, respectively.”

The new electric vehicle will be assigned to the city’s Director of Emergency Services who is one of only 16 Type 2 Credentialed Emergency Operations Center Directors in the State of California. The procurement of the vehicle will better position the City of San Marino to support the local community and the state in a wide variety of public safety and emergency needs as this credential allows the Director to provide emergency management mutual aid to agencies throughout California.

“Being a good corporate neighbor and partner in our local community has always been an important part of who we are as a company,” said Jessica Taylor, Director of Operations, California American Water. “California American Water is proud to work closely with the American Water Charitable Foundation to bring much needed resources to our first responders and true heroes of the community.”

The city’s new electric vehicle will be an unmarked electric SUV that will be outfitted with a variety of emergency response equipment that will allow it to be utilized by multiple city departments for emergency management, police, fire, and public works functions.

The State Strategic Impact Grant is part of the Foundation’s Keep Communities Flowing Grant Program, focusing on three pillars of giving: Water, People and Communities. These grants support high-impact projects and initiatives throughout American Water’s regulated footprint.

“The American Water Charitable Foundation is pleased to partner with California American Water and support their commitment to safety and the ongoing planning and preparedness efforts of Los Angeles County and the San Marino Fire Department,” said Carrie Williams, President, American Water Charitable Foundation.

1847 Holdings Initiates Transition to OTCQB Market Following NYSE American Delisting Decision

Transition Accompanies Strong Revenue Growth, Expanded Profitability, and Strengthened Balance Sheet

NEW YORK, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 1847 Holdings LLC (“1847” or the “Company”), a holding company specializing in identifying overlooked, deep-value investment opportunities in middle market businesses, today announced that it has initiated the process to transition the trading of its common shares to the OTCQB® Venture Market, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. The Company has submitted an application for quotation, which is currently under review. An update and confirmation of the trading commencement date will be provided upon approval.

“We are taking deliberate steps to ensure continued trading access and visibility for our shareholders,” said Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings. “We believe the OTCQB Market provides an efficient platform for companies like ours, and we intend to use this opportunity to continue strengthening our financial performance and balance sheet. Over the past year, we’ve delivered substantial improvements—revenue growth of more than 380% in Q1 2025, significant gross profit expansion, and meaningful debt reduction through strategic initiatives, including the divestiture of High Mountain Door & Trim Inc. for approximately $17 million and the sale of ICU Eyewear. We believe these actions underscore our disciplined approach to value creation and our strategy of acquiring, enhancing, and monetizing undervalued businesses. We are reaffirming our 2025 guidance of revenue expected to exceed $45 million and net income of approximately $1.3 million. For 2026, we anticipate revenue to surpass $60 million with net income rising to approximately $5.0 million. At the appropriate time, we plan to reapply for listing on a national securities exchange as we continue executing our strategy and building long-term shareholder value.”

The Company’s application follows a determination by NYSE American to delist its common shares. As previously disclosed, the Company appealed the initial staff determination; however, on July 1, 2025, a Listing Qualifications Panel affirmed the decision to proceed with delisting. Trading on NYSE American has been suspended since April 3, 2025, and a Form 25 is expected to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to formally complete the delisting process.

Additional information, including the effective date of OTCQB quotation, will be provided as soon as practicable.

About 1847 Holdings LLC

1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American: EFSH), a publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company, was founded by Ellery W. Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners, Saunders Karp & Megrue, and Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings’ investment thesis is that capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business. Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings can consistently acquire businesses it views as “solid” for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems of those businesses in order to improve operations. These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to 1847 Holdings’ ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders.

Families Flock to Northwest Florida for Holiday Weekend, Resulting in Strong Performance for St. Joe® Hotels and Hospitality Assets

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Northwest Florida welcomed a surge of visitors over the Fourth of July holiday, resulting in strong performance for the region’s hospitality and tourism industry, including hotels and resorts in The St. Joe Company (NYSE: JOE) (“St. Joe”) (the “Company”) portfolio. On July 4, guests occupied over 99% of the Company’s 1,298 hotel rooms across 12 hotels and resorts with an average daily rate ranging from the mid $200’s to the low $1,000’s per night—offering an experience for every traveler’s lifestyle and budget. The performance of the Company’s hospitality portfolio showcases the region’s growing attraction as a premier family-friendly destination for both visitors and residents alike.

“Guests traveled from 37 different states to stay at our hotel properties on the Fourth of July, demonstrating the continued strength of our hospitality offerings and of the Emerald Coast as a travel destination,” said Patrick Murphy, St. Joe Senior Vice President of Hospitality. “The region continues to attract more visitors and residents from all over the country, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of that growth by delivering exceptional guest experiences that reflect the very best of Northwest Florida.”

Each of the St. Joe properties, including hotels, restaurants, retail centers, golf courses and marinas, welcomed families celebrating the holiday weekend whether they were vacationing, shopping, dining or experiencing the region’s numerous events. Camp Creek® Inn had an estimated 2,000 Watersound Club® members and guests in attendance for fireworks, live music and family entertainment.
