We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for your participation in the Central Valley Real Estate Summit on August 7, 2024. 

Your involvement was instrumental in making the event a success, and we hope you found the insights shared valuable as we collectively work towards shaping the future of our regional real estate market.

As part of our broader efforts, this Summit plays a crucial role in the development of the City of Modesto’s Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP). This plan will serve as a blueprint for attracting targeted new development, driving business investment, creating jobs, and ensuring the City’s long-term fiscal health. It will focus on key industries and closely-related issues such as infrastructure, land use, and workforce development—addressing the essential "legs" of successful economic development: Core Industries, Workforce, and Foundational Elements.

We Want to Hear From You!

Your feedback is invaluable to us. Please take a few minutes to complete our Summit Survey and share your thoughts on how the City of Modesto can enhance your development experience. The survey is quick and easy, and your input will help our consulting team develop actionable recommendations for fostering new economic growth opportunities in the City.
