Economic Development Survey
In recent social media postings, we have been inspired by the future business and development ideas our residents have been sharing with us. As a result, we have created a new community survey at vv.city/EconomicDevelopmentSurvey that is available until Oct. 30. Your input matters to us and we would love to know the businesses you envision for Victorville's future development!
