City Manager's Message
October is here, and Jurupa Valley is buzzing with progress and celebration! From street improvements to community events, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this month.
Our streets are getting a fresh look, with the Mission Boulevard Phase 3 Street Rehabilitation Project now underway, building on the recently completed improvements along Market Street. These projects are part of our ongoing commitment to providing safe, reliable, and attractive roadways for our community.
We are also thrilled to announce a fresh new look for the City! The public selected their top choice for the new City logo, which was approved by the City Council on September 4. This marks the start of an exciting transformation for the City’s communications and visual identity throughout Jurupa Valley. Be sure to join us for the grand reveal at our State of the City Event on Thursday, November 13—you won’t want to miss it!
Before then, we invite everyone to celebrate the season at the City’s Harvest Parade and Festival on Saturday, October 11. The parade will travel down Limonite Avenue, followed by fun festivities at City Hall. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy our vibrant community and support local participants.
October is a month of progress, celebration, and community spirit. Thank you for helping Jurupa Valley continue to thrive! Enjoy this month’s issue.
Rod Butler City Manager, City of Jurupa Valley
