Fresno City Government Supports VASA - The Board of Directors of VASA sincerely appreciates the cooperation and support of Fresno’s city government including Mayor Alan Autry, Assistant City Manager Jon Ruiz, the entire City Council, Randy Cooper, Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation, and numerous staff members in working with us to secure 2 acres of open land to the east of the Ted C. Wills Community Center at 770 N. San Pablo adjacent to the Cultural Arts District. While ultimately committed to locating downtown with easy access to the museums and other cultural arts organizations, this temporary location will afford VASA a large, safe campus with play equipment, areas to maintain a garden and fully interactive, engaging classroom environments.
