Vernon Business Spotlight and ! ✨The PABCO Paper plant has been part of Vernon’s industrial history for more than a century. Built in 1912, the facility was originally known as Southern Board and Paper Mills. In the 1920s, it became a division of Fibreboard Products, and in 1977, it was sold to a local packaging company.

In 1984, Pacific Coast Building Products purchased the mill, which began operating as PABCO Paper. Today, PABCO Paper produces products for the building and packaging industries, using pre- and post-consumer recycled materials to create wallboard lining and specialty papers.

We are proud to spotlight businesses like PABCO Paper that continue to contribute to Vernon’s strong industrial legacy and commitment to innovation and sustainability. www.pabcopaper.com

In May, the California Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony was held at the State Capitol in Sacramento to honor peace officers who lost their lives in the line of duty during the preceding year. The ceremony also pays tribute to the more than 1,600 officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice since California became a state and recognizes the families they left behind. ❤️🤍💙

This year, members of the Vernon Police Department attended and participated in the ceremony to honor the three officers our department has lost, as well as all law enforcement heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.

We remember and honor their courage, dedication, and sacrifice. California Peace Officers' Memorial Foundation

Our May 5th City Council meeting was a memorable one - a celebration of leadership, service, and new beginnings.

Please join us in thanking outgoing Mayor Leticia Lopez for her dedication and service to the Vernon community over the past 10 years. During the meeting, Mayor Lopez was recognized for her many accomplishments by representatives from the offices of Congressman Robert Garcia, Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez, and LA Supervisor Janice Hahn. Appreciation was also expressed by the Vernon Chamber of Commerce, and the City presented Mayor Lopez with a proclamation and commemorative “Leticia Lopez Way” street sign in her honor.

The departure of Mayor Lopez is bittersweet, as we are incredibly excited to officially welcome newly sworn-in Council Member Monica Rodriguez. A long time City resident and employee of a Vernon business, Council Member Rodriguez will be instrumental in shaping Vernon's path forward. Be sure to say hello at an upcoming City Council meeting!

Here’s to continued progress and an exciting future for Vernon!
