Workforce Strategy and Business Calendar Highlight Economic Push in Moreno Valley

Moreno Valley is closing out March with a renewed focus on jobs, industry growth, and long-term economic positioning.

Economic Strategy Update

A newly released economic strategy briefing outlines Moreno Valley’s competitive advantages, including direct access to major freeways, rail connections, and proximity to March Air Reserve Base. City officials emphasize logistics, trade, transportation, and utilities as leading employment sectors, with utilities representing a significant share of recent job growth.

The report highlights available land for development and continued interest from industrial and advanced manufacturing users. City leaders say aligning workforce training with these industries will be key to attracting higher-wage employers while maintaining Moreno Valley’s role as a regional jobs hub.

March Business & Employment Programs

The Moreno Valley Business & Employment Resource Center also published its March activity calendar, featuring hiring workshops, small business advising sessions, and workforce development events. Programs this month focused on resume support, employer recruitment events, and entrepreneurship resources for local startups.

City officials say the goal is to strengthen pathways between residents and local employers, especially in logistics, public utilities, and growing service sectors. Workforce access remains central as the city continues to balance economic expansion with community concerns about job quality and sustainability.

Looking Ahead

With its two-year budget and capital improvement planning cycle already underway for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, Moreno Valley is expected to continue tying infrastructure investment to economic development priorities. Transportation access, utilities capacity, and land use planning remain central to the city’s growth strategy.

As the second quarter of 2026 approaches, residents can expect continued updates tied to workforce alignment, development activity, and infrastructure coordination.
