Happy 40th Anniversary MoVal! Today, we are not just celebrating a number—we are celebrating four decades of community, growth, and everything that makes Moreno Valley the place to be.

 

Over the past four decades, we’ve built a city that has grown in size, spirit, resilience, and opportunity. This special milestone isn’t just our anniversary; it’s a reflection of each and every one of you who has made Moreno Valley what it is today.

 

When we look back, we see just how far we’ve come—from a small community on the rise to a thriving city of innovation, diversity, and achievement. Your hard work, commitment, and dreams have fueled our City’s journey. We are 40 years strong, and together, we’re just getting started!

 

Thank you to our Moreno Valley community for your passion and your partnership. Our City thrives because of you—the families, students, business owners, and dedicated neighbors who make this place so special. Your commitment to lifting each other makes our City’s heartbeat strong.

 

As we soar into the future, I’m excited to see the great things we will accomplish together. Whether we are enhancing our parks, boosting our local businesses, or ensuring that Moreno Valley remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone, there is no limit to what we can achieve as one united community. I genuinely believe the best is yet to come.

 

Here’s to many more years of progress, unity, and unforgettable moments. Let’s keep soaring, Moreno Valley—our future is bright and only going up from here!

Cheers to embracing 40 and soaring higher and higher every year!

 

 

 

 

¡Feliz 40 Aniversario MoVal! Hoy, no estamos celebrando solo un número, estamos celebrando cuatro décadas de comunidad, crecimiento y todo lo que hace de Moreno Valley el lugar para estar.

 

Durante las últimas cuatro décadas, hemos construido una ciudad que ha crecido en tamaño, espíritu, resiliencia y oportunidades. Este hito especial no es solo nuestro aniversario; es un reflejo de todos y cada uno de ustedes que han hecho Moreno Valley lo que es hoy.

 

Cuando miramos hacia atrás, vemos lo lejos que hemos llegado, desde una pequeña comunidad en ascenso hasta una próspera ciudad de innovación, diversidad y logros. Su arduo trabajo, compromiso y sueños han impulsado el viaje de nuestra ciudad. ¡Tenemos 40 años de fuerza, y juntos, solo estamos comenzando!

 

Gracias a nuestra comunidad de Moreno Valley por su pasión y su asociación. Nuestra ciudad prospera gracias a ustedes: las familias, los estudiantes, los dueños de negocios y los vecinos dedicados que hacen que este lugar sea tan especial. Su compromiso de elevarse unos a otros hace que el latido del corazón de nuestra ciudad sea fuerte.

 

A medida que nos elevamos hacia el futuro, estoy emocionado de ver los triunfos que lograremos juntos. Ya sea que estemos mejorando nuestros parques, impulsando nuestros negocios locales o asegurándonos de que Moreno Valley siga siendo un lugar seguro y acogedor para todos, no hay límite para lo que podemos lograr como una comunidad unida. Realmente creo que lo mejor está por venir.

 

Brindemos por muchos años más de progreso, unidad y momentos inolvidables. Sigamos volando, Moreno Valley, ¡nuestro futuro es brillante y solo va en ascenso desde aquí!

 

¡Salud por estos 40 años y por volar más y más alto cada año!
