READY-TO-GO LAST MILE EXPLORATION
These projects are largely complete,
with clear design, costs, and plans for
implementation
These intermediate-stage projects need to
get specific on design and cost
These early-stage projects will need more
development before they are ready to fund
and implement
Proposed ready-to-go projects total roughly $1 billion
This Playbook focuses on
Downtown San Bernardino,
a small geography with
outsized impact
Though underpopulated and underinvested
today, the downtown core has major potential,
with inexpensive city-owned land, historic
buildings, and close proximity to multimodal
transit. A reinvigorated, climate-ready urban
core will catalyze growth and improve quality
of life throughout the city, making it more
attractive for current and prospective residents
and businesses alike. The geographic focus of
this Playbook will provide the critical mass of
coordinated investment that San Bernardino
needs to reclaim its position as one of the crown
jewels of the Inland Empire.
Coordinated
investments that
benefit everyone
Playbook investments were
identified through more
than 40 individual and
group interviews with local
stakeholders. Each project
was selected based on its
ability to:
Three levels of
project readiness
The Playbook’s 36 transformational investments represent the building blocks of a more sustainable and broadly prosperous future. Projects that made the cut took one of three forms.
Build on San
Bernardino’s
strengths
Unlock federal, state,
and local resources
Leverage market
momentum and
work underway
Drive equitable
growth via
community wealth-
building strategies
Where does the Playbook focus?
Approach: Leveraging
Local Knowledge to Identify
Priorities and Projects
Local knowledge and expertise form the backbone of the San Bernardino Investment Playbook. Dozens of in-depth individual and group interviews with community stakeholders surfaced invaluable information about the concerns and aspirations of San Bernardino residents and provided context and inspiration for the Playbook as a whole. These conversations identified six priority areas as well as the individual projects within each category.
Making the most of
this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity is no
simple task
Funds are being dispersed through dozens of different federal programs, each governed by different agencies with different application processes, delivery mechanisms, timelines, and reporting requirements. State governments have funds to disburse as well.
If cities hope to maximize return on these extraordinary investments, they must organize now.
Over the past year and a half, the federal government has embarked on a massive effort to accelerate climate action and equitable economic growth in American communities. This unprecedented level of federal funding has created new possibilities for transformative investment at scale.

An innovative
approach to
transformative
investment
A growing number of cities throughout the
United States are using Investment Playbooks
to organize themselves for action
An Investment
Playbook will help
San Bernardino meet
this unusual moment
The San Bernardino Investment Playbook offers a cohesive approach to climate action and economic recovery that
leverages San Bernardino’s existing strengths and makes the most of public, private, and civic investment. Anchored in community priorities and distinctive local strengths, the Playbook highlights needed investments and explains how they can be staged and sequenced in order to deliver benefits that are more than the sum of their parts.
The Playbook also explains how to move from idea to action.
It sets out a process for matching local projects with federal funding and other private, public, and civic resources. It also addresses a make-or-break factor—capacity to act—to ensure that projects are financed and delivered in a coordinated and timely fashion.

The first stage of
an ongoing process
The San Bernardino Investment Playbook is a living document that will evolve over time, triggering new projects and unlocking new investment as new priorities surface. As ready- to-go projects get underway, last-mile projects will secure funds and exploratory projects will become more concrete.
Looking ahead, a more extensive design process will be needed to make the most of the recent influx of federal and state funding (e.g., CHIPS and Science Act, Inflation Reduction Action, California climate and housing legislation). The Playbook framework gives San Bernardino a way to identify new opportunities and get projects ready to go.

A new way
of working
Conventional approaches have not led to
better outcomes. Reliance on one-and-done
planning, top-down decision making, and
minimal coordination across projects mean
that investments do not benefit everyone and
longstanding disparities remain unresolved.
Investment Playbooks offer a different
approach. Based on community needs and
local strengths, Playbooks address disparities
and improve quality of life for all residents.
What’s more, they are designed to evolve
over time, coordinating and sequencing
investments for maximum impact.
