Sacramento. – Today the city of San Marcos was profiled as part of the ongoing “Strong Cities | Strong State” campaign highlighting local government success stories across California. “Strong Cities | Strong State” is a project of the League of California Cities and the California City Management Foundation (CCMF).
“We are excited to showcase San Marcos’ quality of life in this important campaign,” said San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond. “The city has done an incredible job of balancing resources, maintaining top-notch service and providing an excellent quality of life for our residents. A strong city, in turn, helps strengthen all of California.”

The “Strong Cities | Strong State” website is the centerpiece of a campaign broadly promoting city success stories alongside profiles of the elected officials and city managers working together to build and maintain a high quality of life for California city residents.
Highlights of city of San Marcos’ profile include:
- Creek District to bring new “downtown” to San Marcos;
- Doing business like a business helps city flourish; and
- Green revitalization in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods.
The overarching goal of the “Strong Cities” campaign is to promote the innovation and experience of local officials in delivering vital services at a time when this expertise is vitally needed by state leaders struggling with fundamental issues of governance. “Strong Cities | Strong State” seeks to position cities as vital, necessary and equal partners in building a better California.
The Strong Cities | Strong State campaign will continue profiling individual cities each day, with a goal of highlighting all California cities over the coming year-and-a-half. Profiles include photos, video and other media articulating how each individual city has been working to both provide essential services, as well as elevate the quality life of its residents. Success stories will range from public safety initiatives to educational partnerships, infrastructure improvements to community engagement strategies and more.
