Quote of the Week

"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."

-- Benjamin Franklin

This Week in History

On March 29, 1973, two months after the signing of the Vietnam peace agreement, the last U.S. combat troops leave South Vietnam as Hanoi frees the remaining American prisoners of war held in North Vietnam. America's direct eight-year intervention in the Vietnam War was at an end.

Ground Breaking

If you traveled along Marion this past week - you've likely seen work underway to construct the Marion Villas - a 46 unit senior development complex, with retail on the ground floor. Construction on the development should be completed in approximately eighteen months.

With construction underway, we've received questions from those interested in locating in the facility. Anyone interested is encouraged to call 877-386-1777.

Don't Wait, Call

Kingsburg is one of the safest communities in the Valley, with a low crime rate made possible with the assistance of residents paying attention to their surroundings and reporting any suspicious activity.

The police department wants to remind all residents to contact them immediately should they notice anything out of the ordinary. A quick check by our sworn personnel may help prevent a crime from occurring. Calling our non-emergency number (897-2931) is the best way to report these concerns.

You can also stay informed by downloading the Nixle App. Our PD uses Nixle as a way to send alerts and advisories on breaking news within the City.
