The City of Citrus Heights is proud to recognize Trust Barbershop as the latest recipient of the Business of Distinction – Pride of Place award.

Located in the Grand Oaks Shopping Center, Trust Barbershop transformed a former Check Into Cash storefront into a modern barbershop through significant investments in the property's interior and exterior.

Congratulations to owner Ross and the Trust Barbershop team on this well-deserved recognition.

Nominations for the Top of Trade Award will open on July 20th. You can visit the Business of Distinction web page for more information and to submit your nomination.

Citrus Heights residents can take advantage of the Charlene McGhee Memorial Lawn and Garden Program to replace eligible gas-powered lawn and garden equipment with battery-powered alternatives.

Two Citrus Heights retailers are participating in the program, making it easy to apply for a voucher and shop locally. If approved, you can trade in eligible gas-powered equipment and receive a voucher toward the purchase of new battery-powered landscaping equipment at participating retailers. Voucher amounts vary by equipment type, and applicants must meet program eligibility requirements.

The program is expected to launch in August. Now is a great time to reach out to a participating vendor to discuss eligibility, qualifying equipment, and what to expect during the application process.
