Martinez on jobs


question: 
How would you generate more jobs?
answer: 

The city of Porte creation by working Porterville is continually working at job creation by working through Porterville Chamber of Commerce and Tulare County Economic Development Board. We have just updated the Porterville General Plan which will allow for better land uses in our city. Porterville has just been successful in the removal of the cease and desist order which will eventually give us the ability to discharge more waste water and thus accommodate large businesses which may have. Porterville is working with TCAG and our State representatives so we could expand Hwy 190 and Hwy 65. The City of Porterville has also worked in partnership with Porterville College to gain the opportunity at providing a 4 year degree so that we may have a larger educated workforce. This action alone will in the long term change our demographics and attract more business.
