The city of Fresno calls itself "The Capital of Central California".
Downtown should look like a capital site. Current redevelopment efforts have resulted in many construction projects, primarily for government workers. The next steps will be improving services for the downtown workers and increasing the number of downtown residents. I will:
- Ensure that Fresno County offices stay downtown.
- Facilitate grants for downtown revitalization with city, county, state, federal and private sources.
- Implement a plan for the County owned buildings downtown that are currently empty.
- Work with the City of Fresno and owners of derelict buildings to entice building renovation or removal.
