The City shall coordinate with Chabot College and California State University, East Bay to develop a Town-Gown Economic Strategic Plan that focuses on enhancing the college-town economy and culture of Hayward. The City shall submit an annual report to the City Council that evaluates the implementation of the Strategic Plan.



Town-Gown efforts were delayed as priorities were shifted due to COVID response and recovery. Formal work on the Town-Gown Strategic Plan will restart as college campuses reopen for in-person learning.
