We enjoy real seasons, Yosemite next door and a rural life-style just 45 minutes from a major metropolitan area.

Our economy is increasingly diversified; the Chamber of Commerce membership has grown considerably in the last three years. Major computer software firms are located here plus Federal, State and County government employment is strong and retail businesses flourish with a second major shopping center just completed and a third one soon to begin.

Yet, we remain an affordable community, for employers and employees. Eastern Madera County is a progressive community in the best sense of the word. It's business sector works closely with local citizen groups to protect the quality of life while nourishing the area's economic health. An example of this is the Oakhurst River Parkway Project along the Fresno River, Oak Creek and China Creek.
