The proposed Fresno Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (“EIFD” or “District”) is intended
to serve as a catalyst for private sector investment and critical infrastructure with transformative
potential for the EIFD area and the City of Fresno (“City”) as a whole. The Fresno EIFD
encompasses approximately 4,237 acres of land, representing approximately 5.8% of the City’s
total approximately 73,400 acres. The Fresno EIFD includes the City’s Downtown Planning Area
and the southern portion of the Blackstone Avenue Bus Rapid Transit (“BRT”) Corridor as
characterized in the City General Plan. The District includes overlap with the Tower District
Specific Plan, Fulton Corridor Specific Plan, and Fresno Chandler Downtown Airport Specific Plan
areas. These areas were chosen based on their capacity to benefit from catalytic infrastructure
improvements with community-wide and regional benefit.
