Welcome
Welcome to the June Edition of Jurupa Valley's Economic Development Monthly Report.
Jurupa Valley's Economic Development team along with Mayor Guillermo Silva, Mayor Pro Tem Brian Berkson and Councilwoman Leslie Altamirano recently attended the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) in Las Vegas, Nevada. ICSC is a 2-3 day gathering of industry experts, developers and government agencies that promotes and elevates the marketplaces and spaces where people shop, dine, work and play.
The City staffed a booth where the Economic Development team highlighted various opportunity sites throughout the City and met with several developers and retailers to discuss the status of current and potential retail development projects.
