Today’s Temecula State of the City event was held at beautiful Pechanga Resort Casino, a great reflection of the growth and innovation happening throughout the Southwest Riverside County region. Highlights included updates on higher-education, the school district, transportation, public safety, and exciting business development, along with recognition of Temecula as one of the safest cities in America.

The event also honored veterans and active military personnel while showcasing the strong and growing manufacturing sector through companies like Symbio and NaturVet.

Team RivCoED had an incredible time at ICSC LasVegas this past week connecting with retailers, developers, brokers, investors, and site selectors from across the country. Throughout the event, the Riverside County Pavilion served as a hub to showcase the exciting growth, development opportunities, and economic momentum taking place across our region.

We are especially grateful for the collaboration and support of our outstanding city partners who helped make this year’s pavilion a success. Together, we proudly highlighted why Riverside County continues to attract new investment and development with its growing communities, strategic location, strong consumer market, and diverse opportunities for businesses of all sizes. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the pavilion. We look forward to continuing the conversations and partnerships.
