Raisin Capital of the World: What is happening in Selma?

If you had the opportunity to drive on Second Street from East Front Street to High Street, you have seen the new lights brightening up the street!  Yes, thanks to the generous support of the California Water Company and the partnership of the Selma District Chamber of Commerce and the City of Selma, the lighting project for Second Street is complete.   A BIG shout out goes to the Public Works Department and Mark Alves (Alves Electric) for supplying the labor  to do the actual wrapping of the trees with lights and the hanging of the café lights down the street.  Again, the Selma District Chamber of Commerce is proud to be a part of a COMMUNITY that works together to improve the quality of life for its residents.  GOOD WORK ALL WHO HELPED MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Raisin Capital of the World: Selma history

It is time for a little History of Selma Lesson.  Thanks to Randy McFarland, we have access to a wonderful resource book: Centennial Selma, Biography of a California Community’s First 100 Years.   He wrote and published this book in 1980.  Randy continues to be loyal Selma Supporter and Historian. Did you know?  When the City of Selma started, it was a school system and then quickly acquired a post office for communications.  It had a constable and beyond that, other utilities were missing.  During the Wheat Boom, an enterprising businessperson brought water, gas, electricity and telephone services to the community and got a fire department started. 

Local chambers enthusiastic about return to outdoor dining

CENTRAL VALLEY —  With stay-at-home orders lifted statewide last week, local business owners are eager to get one step closer to normalcy. “Over the last week, people downtown seem really excited that things are opening up again,” said Jeff Dodd, executive director of the Kingsburg Chamber of Commerce. “It’s more of an upbeat feeling among the people I’ve talked to.” Dodd said that the stay-at-home order had affected local business to the point where the Chamber of Commerce had essentially even shut down, with Dodd and Kingsburg office administrator Barbara Little needing to go to the office just a few times a week.
