Disneyland, Walt Disney's metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy, and futurism, opens on July 17, 1955. The $17 million theme park was built on 160 acres of former orange groves in Anaheim, California, and soon brought in staggering profits. Today, Disneyland hosts more than 14 million visitors a year, who spend close to $3 billion. |

 The City needs your feedback to help determine the type of retail and professional service stores you would like to see locate to Kingsburg.
By taking our brief consumer survey, the Economic Development Committee can help formulate future strategic plans to help attract specific business ventures. The survey only take a few moments - and your input is extremely important.

The City's water meter installation project is nearing completion! With only a few weeks remaining, the project is anticipated to be completed early, and well under budget. With an initial engineer estimate of $1.8 million, early indications project the project to total $1.2 million.
Residents will receive additional notification from the City prior to any billing for the meters. Once the project is complete, the City will be able to determine the exact cost for each home's meter based upon the work performed.
