The Partnership is leading downtown Fresno toward its future as a vibrant hub of business activity by promoting downtown’s image; supporting physical improvements and development; advocating for merchants; and hosting special events that bring new life to the historic core of our city. We discuss a lot in this conversation including Public Private Partnerships, signage, parking meters, Chukchansi Park, police presence and the benefits of bicycle patrols, the homeless issue, Christmas Tree Lane, Oppenheimer, Peeve’s, Gentrification, Noise Ordinances, and so much more.
