Ontario Is Growing with Purpose
 Ontario continues to grow as one of Southern California's leading cities, creating jobs, expanding housing opportunities, and investing in amenities that enhance our community. This progress reflects thoughtful planning, responsible fiscal management, and a commitment to keeping Ontario safe, vibrant, and competitive.
As our City grows, so does the need to invest in the services residents value most, including public safety, well maintained neighborhoods, reliable infrastructure, housing, and economic opportunity. Delivering on these commitments is becoming increasingly visible across Ontario. Explore the Measure Q Project Dashboard to see how voter approved investments are making an impact, or simply take a drive through our community to see Ontario continuing to evolve. The City remains committed to making responsible investments that protect our quality of life today while preparing Ontario for the future.
