Calling all Victorville Veterans!  We want to honor you during our 26th Annual Veterans Day Celebration on Nov. 11!  Please tell us about a Veteran you know and love so we can honor them during our ceremony. 

Our celebration will take place in Old Town Victorville and can be viewed from 7th Street and Forrest Avenue.  We'll kick start the event  with our Freedom Mile Run at 8:45 a.m.  This fun run is free and participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt while supplies last.

The Veterans Day Parade will begin at the corner of 7th Street and Tracy Street at 9 a.m. and proceed to the corner of 7th Street and Forrest Avenue where the ceremony will take place immediately following the conclusion of the parade.  

Veteran Information Forms and Parade Entry Applications are due by Oct. 24.  For more information about this special event, visit VictorvilleCA.gov/VeteransDay.

With approval and certification from our Measure P Oversight Committee, we continue to make enhancements to benefit our growing community including police, fire, code enforcement, animal care and control, homelessness, library, and recreation services.

Green Tree Extension

Great news! The intersection of Green Tree Boulevard and Hesperia Road is open!

A new traffic signal has been installed, and the intersection was widened and elevated as part of our Green Tree Extension project. Right now, crews are adding metal railing, lighting, and concrete barriers to the new bridge deck.

We’re still on track to be traveling the Green tree Extension in Spring 2023!

Congratulations to Nathaly Esquivel, Mikie Martinez, Paul Adams, Miguel Carbajal, Gabriel Serrano, and Evelyn Martinez on your tremendous achievement.

National Council of Negro Women Day

This week, our City Council proclaimed September 29, 2022 as National Council of Negro Women Day in Victorville.

Mayor Jones presented a Proclamation to the High Desert Section of the National Council of Negro Women and commended them for their tremendous legacy of service to our community over the past 40 years. 

We’re grateful for their efforts to strengthen families and our community through educational scholarships, awareness activities, and volunteerism.

60th Anniversary of Incorporation

This week marked the 60th anniversary of the City's incorporation on September 21, 1962! We’re proud to reflect on our rich history over the past 60 years and the City we’ve become.

Victorville is the economic engine of the High Desert Region. We’re home to the largest employers, the most diverse dining and retail choices; and we’re a leader in the warehousing and industrial sectors. Our SCLA is home to several world-class companies.

We’re excited to continue to work on the improvements identified in our Strategic Plan. We invite you to follow us and track our progress at VictorvilleCA.gov/StrategicPlan.

On Oct. 1, we will switch to our winter watering hours.  Please set your outdoor irrigation systems to water between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on your designated watering days. 

If your house number ends in an even number, your watering days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.  Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday are the watering days for odd number houses. 

During the winter months, our lawns benefit from the morning dew, so less water is needed.  No more than three to four minutes of watering on your designated days should be enough.  Winter watering hours will continue through May. 

Drip irrigation systems are exempt from the watering restrictions.  California is in its third year of a severe drought.  Thanks for doing your part to conserve water.  Every drop counts!  For conservation tips and services available to Victorville residents and businesses, visit VictorvilleCA.gov/Conserve.
