Community conversations on the future of high-speed rail for Fresno

10 years ago, every major politician in California trotted down to Fresno to break ground on the state's first high-speed rail project. The ambitions for Fresno have been large. But while the project has hit some success despite the several obstacles, it's over a decade behind the initial schedule projections, without a clear timeline to connect Central Valley residents with the Bay Area or LA.

We'll be convening local leaders and community members to talk about how the high-speed rail has transformed Fresno so far and what is to come. We'll cover:

• The future HSR station in Fresno and what it means for Chinatown and Downtown growth
• The role HSR plays in creating a more innovation-driven economy in Fresno
• What we can learn from HSR on creating good, local jobs?
• Alternative futures without HSR

These panel discussions will be taking place in the Sun Stereo events space, located to the rear of the building's first floor.
