New Year's Message

By Ulises Cabrera, City of Moreno Valley Mayor
January 2, 2025 at 07:49am. Views: 303

As 2024 comes to an end at the stroke of midnight tonight, I can’t help but reflect on this amazing last year and look ahead to the exciting possibilities that await us. The new year is a chance to continue our momentum, or even create a fresh start with renewed energy. 

 

From the Beautify MoVal events, to the refurbishments of our dozens of parks, to supporting and growing the local business community, we’re all working together to build a Moreno Valley that’s stronger, more vibrant, and more connected than ever. I am grateful for our dedicated City staff and council members, who work tirelessly to make sure Moreno Valley is moving forward.  

 

We’re excited to turn the page to 2025, where new projects, events, and initiatives aimed at making our City even more vibrant, strong, and united await us. I also want to thank each of our beloved residents for the role you play in our community. Through volunteering, supporting local businesses, and showing up for our events, your passion for the City and our community are pivotal reasons why Moreno Valley continues to soar to new heights.

 

May your 2025 be filled with success, happiness, and the warmth of family and friends. I am truly grateful to be on this journey with each of you, and I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish together during our next trip around the sun.

 

Happy New Year, Moreno Valley!

 

 

 

 

 

Mientras 2024 llega a su fin al filo de la medianoche, no puedo evitar reflexionar sobre este increíble año y mirar hacia las emocionantes posibilidades que nos esperan. El nuevo año es una oportunidad para continuar con nuestro impulso o incluso crear un nuevo comienzo con energía renovada. 

 

Desde los eventos Beautify MoVal hasta las renovaciones de nuestras docenas de parques, pasando por el apoyo y el crecimiento de la comunidad empresarial local, todos estamos trabajando juntos para construir un Moreno Valley que sea más fuerte, más vibrante y más conectado que nunca. Estoy agradecido por nuestro personal dedicados a la Ciudad y los miembros del consejo, que trabajan incansablemente para asegurarse que Moreno Valley avance.  

 

Estamos entusiasmados de pasar la página hacia 2025, donde nos esperan nuevos proyectos, eventos e iniciativas destinadas a hacer que nuestra ciudad sea aún más fuerte, vibrante y unida. También quiero agradecer a cada uno de nuestros queridos residentes por el papel que desempeñan en nuestra comunidad. A través del voluntariado, el apoyo a las empresas locales y la asistencia a nuestros eventos, su pasión por la ciudad y nuestra comunidad son razones fundamentales por las que Moreno Valley continúa elevándose a nuevas alturas.

 

Que tu 2025 esté lleno de éxito, felicidad y la calidez de familiares y amigos. Estoy realmente agradecido de estar en este viaje con cada uno de ustedes y no puedo esperar a ver qué lograremos juntos durante nuestro próximo viaje alrededor del sol.

 

¡Feliz año nuevo, Moreno Valley!

The first years of a child's life are filled with milestones that families often remember forever. A baby's first smile, the first attempt to crawl and the first spoken words are moments of celebration.

Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
