Happy 4th of July from Mayor Greg Meister

This Independence Day, we celebrate more than just fireworks—we celebrate real progress, together.

Roads: After 18 years behind schedule, we’ve gone from resurfacing just 5 miles of roads per year to over 20—and we’re aiming for 30 miles next year.

Safety: We’ve implemented a No Camping Ordinance to keep parks, sidewalks, and business fronts clear, giving our Police Department the tools they need to keep our streets clean. We’ve also added a dedicated homeless abatement crew to clear encampments throughout our city.

Regulations: As promised, I’ve cut regulation and red tape, making Porterville more business-friendly. With your support, I’ll continue reducing regulations to make Porterville the easiest place to do business in the valley.

Growth: We’re actively engaging major developers to bring more homes, more businesses, and more opportunities to Porterville.

This is your city. Your future. Let’s keep building it—together.

Happy Independence Day.

— Mayor Greg Meister
