We are a growing coalition of community organizations, government entities, educational institutions, and economic development agencies to develop a tri-county proposal for California Jobs First Fund (Formerly Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF).
Engage a broad and inclusive range of stakeholders in setting a vision for the future of our economy, centering disinvested communities and uplifting voices traditionally left out of economic development discussions.
Create a sustainable structure for ongoing regional collaboration around inclusive economic development goals beyond the California Jobs First planning phase.
Develop a Regional Plan for our economy that will inform and align future investments and economic development strategies.
Implement transparent and community-centered processes for inclusive economic development planning that will advance long-term prosperity and equity across the Northern San Joaquin Valley.
The North San Joaquin Valley is a region with equitable access to high-quality jobs, where natural resources are protected and negative environmental impact is addressed, where local industries actively compete in the global economy and sustain high-road jobs, and where the quality of life is centered on the prosperity of vulnerable and historically disinvested communities.
