The City of Oxnard is located on the “Gold Coast” of sunny California, approximately halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and is known as the gateway to the Channel Islands. Oxnard is a thriving center of commerce, tourism and industry in Ventura County. Oxnard is the largest city in the County with its population of over 200,000 residents. Oxnard services the needs of its culturally diverse population. While the City maintains steady growth with new development, it also promotes the preservation and economic health of its historic downtown. The City also operates more than 50 park facilities for its residents, as well as special purpose facilities. Oxnard`s leadership has adopted a plan with vision and conviction for an exciting future to further enhance business development and the quality of life. Oxnard is the only full-service city in Ventura County. Incorporated as a general law city in 1903, Oxnard operates under the council-manager form of government. The City consists of an elected Mayor holding a two-year term and four council members elected at large for four-year overlapping terms. The City Council acts as the Community Development Commission`s Successor Agency and, supplemented by two tenant commissioners, as the Housing Authority. The City Council is advised by several citizen commissions and committees. The population has grown significantly in the last fifty years, providing many challenges to local government and residents. Oxnard continually offers many opportunities for its enterprising and forward-thinking business community, while maintaining a family-friendly environment, as evidenced by the new parks that have opened throughout the City. As Oxnard evolves, the City will continue to strive to maintain a balance between its residents` needs and being a “business friendly” community.

It is the mission of Caldwell County government, led by its Commissioners and supported by all of its employees, to provide all residents of Caldwell County: • SERVICES that are basic and necessary, equal economic and educational opportunities, and a decent quality of life • GOVERNANCE that is efficient, equitable, and productive • STEWARDSHIP of all county natural, financial, and human resources, that is stable and beneficial to all, and • LEADERSHIP that is visionary and proactive in ever-changing state, national, and global arenas. Caldwell County`s Mission will secure the County`s rightful place in the 21st Century “Information Age” by building a sustainable community in partnership with our municipalities. We will fulfill this plan by: • providing and supporting an education system which will produce a suitably trained and educated work force with the development of the Career Center High School, Early College High School, and the Appalachian State University Center on the Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute campus. This educational system creates a more seamless delivery to students of all ages. Caldwell County strongly endorses a more rigorous and relevant curriculum that forms the foundation on which we • develop a stable and viable economy of industry, retail, and commerce by utilizing our Economic Development Grant Program. The County acknowledges the challenges of a knowledge-based economy which requires a strong leadership role in all potential economic development projects that will • support job retention and job creation through diversification in new and expanding businesses such that Caldwell County citizens can realize the “American Dream”. The American Dream not only includes home ownership but also a clean and green environment. Development of a bio-mass/alternative fuel initiative will improve the quality of air while the construction of a water reservoir in the Yadkin River Valley will provide a greater abundance of clean water.
