About the upcoming program:
Blueprints are being developed around the state by Metropolitan Planning Organizations to plan for the population growth that is anticipated in California over the next 40+ years. Blueprints are regional in scope and integrate land use, transportation and resource planning. Blueprint planning is a comprehensive undertaking that requires innovation, collaborative planning, thinking on a macro scale and a willingness to follow through to implementation.

The preferred scenario for the San Joaquin Valley Blueprint Process has been chosen, but what are the next steps to implementing this plan? Join retired City of Clovis Planning Director John Wright as he provides a progress report on the implementation of the San Joaquin Valley Blueprint.

Mr. Wright has actively served on many regional committees dealing with land use, transportation, farmland preservation and air quality and has helped organize interactive settings for agency directors and valley professional planners. He is leading the San Joaquin Valley Planner’s Workgroup within the San Joaquin Valley Blueprint Planning Process, and served on the Blueprint Regional Advisory Committee. He currently assists the Fresno Council of Governments in the implementation of the Valley Blueprint, including the relationship between AB 32, SB 375, and City and County General plans.
