MY CITY. MY VOICE. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Keeping Fremont Safe, Clean and Self-Reliant Fremont is proud to be a safe, clean, and well-maintained community — a place where residents can live, work, and raise families. As state actions and the loss of federal support place added pressure on local services, it is becoming more challenging to maintain the high standards our community expects and deserves. To plan responsibly for the future, the City is beginning a strategic planning process now to help guide decisions about essential services, including fire and police protection, emergency response, street and park maintenance, youth and senior programs, and homelessness services. As we do this work, your input is vital. Please take a moment to share your priorities for a safe, strong and self-reliant Fremont at my.fremont.gov/myvoice. To stay informed, or for future updates, visit fremont.gov/myvoice. Join the Conversation today!
