Office of Community and Economic Development- CSU Fresno

The Office of Community & Economic Development at Fresno State connects the university to the community throughout the eight counties of the San Joaquin Valley. We connect the community to the resources of Fresno State, through data, research, industry insights, and connections to collaborators, investors, researchers, affiliates, and new markets.

We are regional collaborators. We collaborate with organizations to convene and advocate around policies and initiatives that make a positive impact on a regional scale.

We administer the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley, San Joaquin Valley Rural Development Center,San Joaquin Valley Housing Collaborative, San Joaquin Valley Regional Broadband Consortium, the Smart Valley Places initiative, and the Community and Regional Planning Center located on the Fresno State campus.
