City plans monthly river cleanup and celebrates Snips Barber Shop opening

Jurupa Valley's Planning Commission meeting on March 12, 2025, highlighted community engagement and local business developments, showcasing the city’s commitment to enhancing resident involvement and economic growth.

A key focus of the meeting was the upcoming community cleanup scheduled for April 5, 2025, at Mary Towel. This initiative, held on the first Saturday of each month, aims to address litter and debris along the Santa Ana River. Participants are encouraged to join the effort, which has already seen significant turnout and impact, with two trailers and two trucks filled with trash collected during the March cleanup.

Commissioners also reported on recent events, including the successful opening of Son's Kitchen in the Pyrite shopping area, which has been well-received for its quality Chinese cuisine. Additionally, a recent economic development meeting at the Skyview Center drew considerable resident participation, where discussions centered on business opportunities and housing concerns.

Code enforcement was another topic of discussion, with Mr. Perez providing updates on recent meetings. He emphasized the importance of community cooperation with code enforcement officers, who play a vital role in maintaining the city’s standards and improving the quality of life for residents.

Looking ahead, the commission announced a grand opening for Snips Barber Shop at the Shops at Hoopa Valley, set for March 14, 2025. This new establishment is anticipated to contribute positively to the local economy.

The meeting underscored Jurupa Valley's proactive approach to community involvement and economic development, with officials encouraging residents to participate in upcoming events and support local businesses.
