Christian on county's image
We have two images in Tulare County. The one we like, sunrises over the Sierras, sunsets in the west, the Blossom Trail, downtowns which have something for everyone. The other image is that of “dirty air”, dust, a crowded highway, unbearable summer heat and of course the “Tule fog”.
We have three great national treasures at our footsteps, Kings Canyon, Mineral King and Sequoia Park. It affords us a chance to visit some of the oldest and most beautiful living things in the world. In our country side we can see oranges, grapes, stone fruit crops, strawberries, wheat, corn and Kiwis just to name a few. We are as unique as anywhere in the world.
Actively promoting our people, culture and traditions not to mention affordable housing can go a long way in changing our image. We must be willing to open our doors to new business and new neighbors in order to change how others perceive us.
