City Planning
It’s no stroke of luck that Clovis is such a fine place to live and work. A commitment to planning – renewed by city officials and endorsed by the public through the years – is to credit. And that commitment it is why Clovis remains one of the most highly desirable communities in which to live in California. A commitment to thoughtful planning is why the area’s growth -- new building values skyrocketed from $95 million to more than $350 million in four years – seems to unfold naturally, smoothly in an organized manner -- instead of busting out all over, haphazardly.
It is why schools and neighborhoods feel connected and people have a sense of community. It is why grocery stores and shops are nearby, but not too close for comfort. It’s why we protect our heritage – as in historic Old Town – and why we can cherish our environment, as witnessed by the 13-mile “Rails to Trails” pedestrian and bike trail system through the community. A commitment to planning is why Clovis is a metropolitan-area leader and why there are broad opportunities for employment. It is why there is celebration for diversity and genuine pride in our community.
