Porterville Business Recognition Programs

The City of Porterville’s Outstanding Business Recognition Program is an initiative of the Economic Development Division, which is housed within the City’s Community Development Department.  The accompanying Legacy Business Recognition Program focuses on celebrating local businesses at the conclusion of their business endeavors following long tenures in the City.  

Outstanding Business Recognition 

Porterville is fortunate to have a vital business community, with firms that have a long history in town and give willingly of their time, talent and resources to make Porterville a better place to live and work.  As such, each trimester the City of Porterville takes pleasure in acknowledging a local business that has contributed to the community's economic base.

Congratulations to the latest Outstanding Business Honoree, Happy Hearts Children's Center!
