purpose is to focus resources, attention and energy in order
to ensure that the eight-county area coordinates and
leverages its own resources while creating new ones, and
undertakes the actions that will reverse the current deficits
of the region.
WHY: The region is undergoing rapid transformation as the
population continues to grow. Nearly 60 percent of the San
Joaquin Valley's growth since 2000 is due to migration, with
the remainder due to natural increases. More than 3.4 million
people are living in 62 cities throughout the Central Valley.
