Agoura Highlighted as Part of Strong Cities/Strong State Campaign

The city of Agoura Hills has been profiled as part of the ongoing “Strong Cities/Strong State” campaign highlighting local government success stories across California. “Strong Cities/Strong State” is a project of the League of California Cities and the California City Management Foundation (CCMF).

The "Strong Cities" web site is the centerpiece of a campaign broadly promoting city success stories alongside profiles of the elected officials and city managers working together to build and maintain a high quality of life for California city residents.

Highlights of city of Agoura Hills profile include:

• Ability to make infrastructure improvements in the midst of the state’s financial crisis; and
• Tourism Initiative to promote all that the Conejo Valley has to offer.

“Through the tough times, our community has never lost site of the things that are most important to it, and I’m glad to play a role in preserving and continuing that quality of life" said Agoura Hills City Manager Greg Ramirez.

The overarching goal of the “Strong Cities” campaign is to promote the innovation and experience of local officials in delivering vital services at a time when this expertise is vitally needed by state leaders struggling with fundamental issues of governance. “Strong Cities/Strong State” seeks to position cities as vital, necessary and equal partners in building a better California.

This campaign will continue profiling individual cities each day with a goal of highlighting all California cities over the coming year-and-a-half. Profiles include photos, video and other media articulating how each individual city has been working to both provide essential services, as well as elevate the quality of life of its residents. Success stories will range from public safety initiatives to educational partnerships, infrastructure improvements to community engagement strategies and more.
