Strategic Location
Located within a 10-minute drive of the Ontario International Airport, Jurupa Valley is positioned strategically in Riverside County—the fastest growing county in California. With its convenient location and access to Interstate 15 and State Route 60, as well as heavy rail service and the Metro-Link Station, Jurupa Valley provides convenient transportation to commuters and industry alike.
The City's strategic location and transportation system has led major corporations—including Costco, Walmart, FedEx, and UPS—to call the City's Mira Loma Industrial complex home.
A Ready Made Workforce
With nearly half a million people within a 15 minute drive of Jurupa Valley and a growing population of over 105,000 residents, Jurupa Valley can help create a strong workforce for your business. The Jurupa Valley area has an abundant, skilled talent pool—with 55% of the population between the ages of 18 and 65. Residents are ready for employment close to home.
The City is also partnering with State supporters on a project that will further equip our future workforce. The Inland Empire Technical Trade Center will provide Riverside Community College students with technical training in carpentry, retail, automotive, and cybersecurity fields. This collaborative effort was awarded over $30 million for land acquisition, facility and curriculum planning alone.
A Community of Communities
Within its 44 square miles, the City features 9 distinct communities providing a variety of suburban, rural and equestrian lifestyles.
Home to a wide variety of active and natural park spaces, the City of Jurupa Valley also allows direct access to the Santa Ana River Trail system. With historic attractions such as Flabob Airport and the Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center, Jurupa Valley is a budding city for tourism.
The City also offers excellent education opportunities for local families—served by the Jurupa and Corona Unified School Districts, the Riverside Community College District and the University of California, Riverside.
Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday was founded by American Express in 2010 and co-sponsored by the Small Business Administration with the goal of encouraging holiday shoppers to shop locally and at small businesses.
With Small Business Saturday right around the corner, we want to spotlight our local businesses! The City of Jurupa will support the Small Business Saturday event by listing all businesses who will be having promotional giveaways or providing discounts. These businesses can range from dining, retail, and beauty.
