SEDA UPDATE: The Fresno City Council has moved the SEDA (Southeast Development Area) discussion to Thursday, December 18th, at 9:00 am. Plan to attend! Write a letter to share your concerns! It is vital that our city council and mayor hear our questions and concerns regarding the SEDA project!

Please write a personal email sharing how passing SEDA would impact the needs in our neighborhood and across the city of Fresno!

NOTE:  If you wrote a letter back in March, you need to write again and send to Councilmember Brandon Vang, who began his position in April, as he likely has not seen those letters.

It is important to send a personalized email directly to your city councilmember, followed by a separate email to the rest of the group (City Council, Mayor Dyer, City Clerk, City Manager, and the Planning Dept.)

SUCCESS!

A large crowd of people gathered inside a modern building with glass walls and a staircase, some wearing masks, standing and chatting.

more supporters!

23 Jackson residents joined with others from across the city to nearly fill the council chambers with over 150 folks in attendance for tonight’s Planning Commission Public Hearing on SEDA.

The meeting started with a proposal to delay the presentation and vote due to a realization that the commission had misinformation and incomplete information regarding this significant topic.  They approved sending the topic back to city staff to continue research to gather complete and accurate information and to then bring it back to the commission for consideration.  No date was set for this.

This is a WIN!   Our hope tonight is that they would realize just what they did - that the commission was not prepared to decide on this topic.

It was noted that the commission has received significant public letters with concerns, and they also acknowledged the significant resident turnout at the meeting.

WAY TO GO JACKSON!!!!  

Stay tuned . . .  there will be future meetings where we want to show up  - and increase our numbers!  We will keep showing up to advocate for our neighborhood and our city!
