Fresno State Collaborates to Promote Sustainable Communities in the Valley

HUD USER publishes examples of anchor institutions’ best practices in communities and regions across the country. The most recent example details the efforts of California State University at Fresno’s Office of Community Economic Development (OECD) in supporting sustainable growth in California’s San Joaquin Valley.

As administrator of the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley, the OECD is coordinating public and private efforts that are addressing regional challenges related to air and water quality, economic and workforce development, and housing. With support from a HUD Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant in 2010, OECD helped establish the Smart Valley Places consortium, which creates and disseminates planning tools to implement a shared vision for the Valley. Through its work, OCED is fostering cooperation among Valley communities, producing solutions that address economic and environmental concerns, and planning for a more sustainable San Joaquin Valley.

Visit HUD USER's Best Practices Resource page to learn more about California State University at Fresno’s work in the San Joaquin Valley and to view other promising examples of how communities and regions across the nation are supporting sustainable development and growth.
