Over the course of two days, you will
see firsthand how this rapidly changing region
is grappling with critical economic, social and
environmental issues. From growth, health care,

this region's challenges.
Beginning in downtown Sacramento, your guided
charter bus will include visits to the Central
Valley Water Project, the new UC Merced campus,
farmworker housing, overnight at an industrial
farm, a booming housing development, rural towns
in the South Valley's 'Orange Belt' and the Pacific

and share insights from all sides on these pressing
economic, social
and environmental issues.
