 Metro's Healthy People, Healthy Places Network is gearing up for our next regional gathering and learning opportunity in May. We will be spending time with neighborhood leaders from North Valley counties from Fresno, Madera, Merced and Stanislaus to share experiences and learn about improving our neighborhoods by advocating for smart growth, economic development, mixed income housing, increased active transportation and improved public transit.
There are a number of local, regional and statewide opportunities to make changes and bring more resources to Valley communities... Let's brainstorm to harness our collective power!
