Developing the Region's Inclusive & Vibrant Economy

The Fresno DRIVE coalition is advocating for $4.2B of new investment over the next decade through the 14 major initiatives in the three investment areas listed below. The initial DRIVE investment plan was crowd-sourced with input from a 300-person Steering Committee representing over 150 civic, business, and community organizations and is led by a 38-member Executive Committee representing education; economic, community and workforce development; business; and grassroots and community leadership.

Together with local leaders and organizations, we’re bringing the priorities from our 2019 Investment Plan to life to create measurable change. Organized across three pillars - People, Place, and Prosperity - our initiatives focus on the areas of our economy where progress can create meaningful opportunity for every Fresnan and move our community forward.
