ICMA's Award for Public-Private Partnerships recognizes a local government and its private sector partner (including nongovernmental organizations) that have demonstrated the value of public-private partnerships as an effective technique for introducing greater efficiency, innovation, and civic awareness into a variety of local government services. In 2005, ICMA presented the award in the 50,000-and-greater population category to the city of Santa Clarita, California, and City Manager Kenneth R. Pulskamp for the Golden Valley Project. This article describes the strategic relationship between the city and 90 entities, including private industry, government, utilities and nonprofits, that led to the construction of a major road, a high school, and a business park. The multimillion dollar project serves to alleviate chronic traffic congestion, address school overcrowding, and bring more jobs to the area.
