Welcome
Welcome to the June Edition of Jurupa Valley's Economic Development Monthly Report.
This month, the City of Jurupa Valley unveiled a new feature to the City website: a workforce job board. This webpage will be a centralized job recruitment and will allow users to be directly to an employer's recruitment page. Current business owners will also be encouraged to reach out to our Economic Development team for job recruitments. This webpage represents the City's commitment to connecting its residents with services, resources and job opportunities.

Located at 8320 Limonite Ave., this restaurant continues to be one of the City's most popular dining options. Originally founded in San Bernardino, Tommy & Eleana Kazaltzes would eventually open their own restaurant in Jurupa Valley in October of 2013.
