Yucca Valley's economic picture has mirrored the up and down cycles seen throughout the region over the past several years. Following a period of residential and commercial growth, Yucca Valley has experienced a downturn corresponding to the national and state economy.
The most recent growth period was responsible for an increased focus on the significant infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate future demands for public services.
The Town of Yucca Valley's annual budget provides the blueprint for meeting current and projected needs within the financial resources available to local government. The Town Council regularly amends priorities based on changing needs and available funding. Town staff prepares the budget with the goal of aligning the spending plan with the Town Council's goals and objectives
