JUNE 4, 2018 - VOL. 1
“Solid roots. New growth.”  is our brand. The brand highlights the City’s strong leadership and collaborative community spirit that won us cityhood, has kept us in a strong financial position despite no access to property tax and continues to be the foundation for our community’s growth today. Our new growth is evident in the over $100 million in infrastructure improvements completed, a Community Center and City Hall that was built with no debt and a new Dignity Health medical office building that will be opening in 2019, to name a few. It is our rich history of self-reliance and problem solving, but also new energy and ideas that offers families and businesses the stability and support they both seek, presenting an environment for growth.
