GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • The Fresno City Council will vote today on a plan to rezone 60 acres along Elm Avenue from mixed-use back to industrial — a change that could remove potential for 3,540 housing units and has faced strong opposition from southwest Fresno residents. Developers ask to delay the vote until June so a project along Herndon Avenue can add 4,400 housing units as offsets.  Fresnoland
  • Fresno County deputies Ronald Wells and Timothy Chang were honored with the Official Commendation Achievement Award for saving Victoria Short’s life during a car crash on Highway 180 and 245 last summer.
