City of Tehachapi
Dear Community Members,
In 2008, life changed. As a nation, we saw our economy bottom out,
investments lost, fortunes eliminated, and the brightness of the future
dimmed. Unfortunately, there was widespread talk of a new normal,
stemming from a reluctant acceptance that the unparalleled excitement
and prosperity that we had seen during the first part of the 21st century
would not return in our lifetimes.
I'm proud to say however, that despite the doom and gloom expressed
nationally, the greater community and the City of Tehachapi rejected the concept that we were on the
downhill slide. That didn't mean that we stuck our heads in the sand- we made cuts and set priorities like
you probably did in your own households- but we made a conscious choice to find a new way forward. I'm
proud to say that because of that commitment by our community, our City Council and our City Staff, the
City of Tehachapi was on the upswing in 2012.
That's what makes it so gratifying to share this year-in-review with you now. We've seen success in
improving our infrastructure, we've seen business and private investment growth, and we've seen the
housing market that has dragged down so many communities beginning to correct itself.
In the pages that follow, our Departments will share a selection of this year's successes. We'll also share
with you our plans for the future and what we think we can do to defy physics and see our City's upswing
