Another setback for Fresno’s multi-million dollar downtown revitalization plan

This is one of the effects of the Newsom/Democrat economic disaster.

“Gov. Gavin Newsom has delayed $200 million of funding for Fresno infrastructure another year, the latest obstacle for Mayor Jerry Dyer’s plans to revitalize the city’s downtown.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has delayed $200 million of funding for Fresno infrastructure another year, the latest obstacle for Mayor Jerry Dyer’s plans to revitalize the city’s downtown.

It was previously delayed for only one year, but at his annual State of the City address Thursday, Dyer said he learned last week of a second year of deferment for Fresno’s downtown revitalization money.

Every aspect of California life is being affected by the economic disaster given us by the Democrats and Newsom.  I would hope the people of Fresno would vote against the Democrats that created this mess.

“This delay in funding coupled with prolonged street closures from high-speed rail construction is devastating our downtown and Chinatown revitalization efforts,” Dyer said. “Downtown and Chinatown have been left behind for far too long.”

“I’m calling on our governor and the legislature to prioritize this funding for Fresno,” Dyer said. “Is that too much to ask for a region that feeds the world and a valley that was excluded from the California economy when Interstate 5 was built from Los Angeles to San Francisco? I think not.”
