This week, ABC7 will highlight Fremont in its Building a Better Bay Area series to share stories that make up our diverse region, showcase actions the City is taking to address challenges facing the community, and uncover hidden gems of Fremont from local restaurants to must-see sights.

The series will be kicked off tonight with a special event, ABC7’s Building a Better Bay Area: Fremont Town Hall, focused on housing, transportation, workforce, and overall life in Fremont at 5:00 pm. The Town Hall panel will feature Mayor Lily Mei, Vice Mayor Raj Salwan, several City of Fremont department heads, and other notable Fremont community and business leaders.

Portions of the Town Hall will air on ABC7 News and be streamed live on their digital platforms. After the Town Hall, ABC7 News will air a special edition newscast at 11 p.m. and will focus much of their week-long reporting to the questions and concerns raised during the Town Hall. Content throughout the week about Fremont will be showcased on every ABC7 News digital platform along with every newscast for the entire week.
