On your plate will be the challenges and opportunities of developing a community where two high speed rail systems will converge in a multi- modal transportation center connecting cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Las Vegas… a community with expectations of attracting a growing, diverse population that desires housing with bustling retail close by … a rapidly expanding medical industry … and long-term aerospace opportunities that attract the best and the brightest from around the world. The City of Palmdale is that community. It’s a place where you can bring your experiences to new, uncharted heights. This is an opportunity for you to not only build your career, but to leave your legacy. What’s Coming Palmdale is undergoing a remarkable transformation to become a vibrant city of tomorrow. You will be part of a team that will create a dynamic new community and shape our future. Among the many projects on the horizon are: • High Speed Rail/Multimodal Transportation — A California High Speed Rail station is planned to open in Palmdale around 2025. It will connect with the Xpress West High Speed Rail system from Las Vegas, making Palmdale the only city in the nation where two high speed rail systems converge. • Connectivity with Palmdale Regional Airport and other local modes of transportation. • Transit Oriented Development — Grant funded studies are underway to develop the downtown areas surrounding the multi- modal high speed rail station. This will include housing, retail and restaurants, all with a focus on creating a destination that provides a wide range of opportunities for existing and future residents and workers. • General Plan —Exciting growth and changes are on the way! Palmdale’s General Plan will undergo a fresh, new revision to reflect changes in everything from transportation to parks, and new regional highways to a potential inland port near the airport. • Business Development — Manufacturing and business continue to grow along with Palmdale’s newest economic driver — health care. The future Oasis Wellness Village, located next to the acclaimed Palmdale Regional Medical Center, will merge medical and retail to create a regional continuum of care. Palmdale: Perfectly Positioned Palmdale is a city of 160,000 residents located 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles. It’s only an hour’s drive to Los Angeles, 3 hours to Las Vegas, 2.5 to Coachella, and 4 hours to Mammoth Mountain. We’re perfectly positioned for an easy drive to world-class beaches, skiing, fishing and entertainment.
