State Highway 99 Corridor in San Joaquin
Valley Designated A Last Chance Landscape
What is a Last Chance Landscape? click
here to find out
While Highway 99 has been
the key economic and transportation corridor of
the San Joaquin Valley, it also represents a common
thread of history and culture to the people and
communities of the region. However, in recent
decades, it has gradually become more like the
Valley's "back alley" than its "main
street." Today, Highway 99 projects an image
that reveals little of the historic significance,
strong community pride, and growing innovative
economy of the region.
The Highway 99 Task Force is developing a cohesive
approach to transform 280 miles of the Highway
99 corridor into a truly compelling "Main Street
of the San Joaquin Valley." By working together,
leaders across the region can showcase the unique
history and innovative economics of each community,
while creating an overall image of the Valley
as an attractive place to live and work, and one
with a promising future.
