What makes a good day great?
How about meeting a fantastic group of leaders from state and local government, community foundations, local businesses, regional universities, and more - all working together for one common purpose.... a better tomorrow today.
The Downtown Fresno Partnership is a community catalyst for change in the City of Fresno (the 5th largest city in California, the world's 5th largest economy). Yesterday's State of Downtown Fresno 2024 highlighted the passion, energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to reinvigorate Fresno's urban core with a #LIVEWORKPLAY strategy that holistically addresses civic engagement, improving infrastructure, safety, and cleanliness and supporting residential development. This strategy provides the essential heartbeat of any vibrant community.
Fresno, the City of Merced, the City of Modesto, and the entire Central Valley are exciting places with incredible potential to leverage their current strengths as launch pads for growth and opportunity.
A strong Central Valley leads to a strong California. A strong California leads to a strong nation.
HawkTower looks forward to growing our partnership with these incredible communities to cultivate meaningful connections across traditional silos through direct engagement. Together, we will champion entrepreneurship in rising and emerging areas - both physically and technologically - and seed opportunities for early-stage companies committed to adding value by developing solutions that address the region's most pressing problems.
I look forward to the next visit!
