🎉 Supporting Small Businesses. Revitalizing Storefronts. Growing Turlock. 🎉

Earlier this week, Mayor Amy Bublak and the Turlock City Council recognized another exciting addition to our local business community during the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting.

The Council presented a Turlock Partnership Incentive Program grant check to Pupusas Francis Inc., celebrating their recent opening at 507 N. Golden State Blvd. and their investment in Turlock's future.

The program helps activate vacant storefronts, support entrepreneurship, and encourage investment throughout Turlock.

This locally owned business joins a growing list of entrepreneurs who have utilized the Turlock Partnership Incentive Program to open and expand their businesses in our community.

Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, and the City remains committed to creating opportunities that help entrepreneurs succeed while strengthening Turlock's business community.

Interested in opening a business in Turlock? The Turlock Partnership Incentive Program may be able to help.

Housing growth and economic development go hand in hand. 🏘️📈

A current residential project in Turlock will bring approximately 114 new housing units to our community, and those rooftops matter. The video showcases residential projects located at 1601 W. Monte Vista Avenue and 3201 Four Seasons Drive in Turlock, CA.

In economic development, housing unit counts are one of the key metrics companies evaluate when deciding where to invest, expand, and create jobs. Retailers and entertainment concepts like Trader Joe’s and Topgolf often analyze household density, population growth, and consumer spending patterns within specific trade areas before selecting locations.

It’s not just retail, advanced manufacturers, technology companies, medical offices, and other employers also look closely at housing availability and community growth when determining where to locate and recruit talent.

More housing means more families living, shopping, dining, and investing in our local economy. Increased consumer activity helps generate sales tax revenue that can support future investments in roads, infrastructure, parks, public safety, and other quality-of-life improvements throughout our community.

Strategic growth helps position Turlock for long-term economic success, future amenities, expanded job opportunities, and continued private investment. Projects like this help lay the foundation for future economic growth and a stronger community for generations to come.

💡 Why Open or Invest in a Business within an Opportunity Zone?

Opportunity Zones are designed to encourage long-term investment and economic growth in communities by offering potential federal tax advantages for qualifying investments.

🏗️ Commercial & Industrial Development
🏢 Multi-Family Housing Projects

A new round of Opportunity Zone designations (“Opportunity Zones 2.0”) will begin taking effect in 2027 and continue updating every 10 years moving forward.

Potential benefits for qualifying investors may include:
✔️ Deferral of capital gains taxes
✔️ Potential basis step-up benefits
