Those curious about the way city government operates are invited on a behind-the-scenes tour of Victorville.
City officials are inviting the public to register for its free VV101 Bus Tour, described as a four-hour guided tour of the city’s operations, services and strategic priorities.
The tours are being offered on June 11, 17, and Aug. 1, which will include the Southern California Logistics Airport, Materials Recovery Facility and the new Victorville Animal Care & Adoption Center. Also included in the tour is how the city budget works, plans for Old Town, infrastructure projects, capital improvements, community services and stops at the Victorville Wellness Center and the new Victorville Library.
“In contrast to a typical citizens academy that can take 12 weeks to complete, we’ve designed this quick, guided tour to give our community valuable insight and to connect about important strategic initiatives,” Victorville Mayor Liz Becerra said. “I invite you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about how our city government works in a short, engaging format.”
Participants will meet at Victorville City Hall for an introduction, then board a climate-controlled bus for the tour. Opportunities will be provided to exit the bus and walk through various facilities. Refreshments will be provided.
A $10 deposit is required to hold your seat on the bus and will be refunded after you attend the tour, city officials stated.
For more information and to register, visit VictorvilleCA.gov/BusTour.
For questions about the tour, contact the city’s public information office at 760-955-1681.
