Looking to the Future

Pasadena’s successes stand firmly on the legacy of local leaders and city officials who created the foundation for this magnificent community in 1886.

Today the Pasadena City Council, the city’s Executive Leadership Team and more than 2,000 city employees have an enormous impact on day-to-day life in this community, and we couldn’t possibly do it alone. Our partners in the community – residents, businesses, non-profits, institutions, volunteers – help keep the City of Pasadena on the path to success. We have weathered many storms together and celebrated many achievements.

As we enter 2010, Pasadena has already hosted the traditional New Year’s Day events as well as the Bowl Championship Series final game, all three of which provided an economic shot in the arm and focused the eyes of the world on this community.

As we move forward in this new year, phase two of the General Plan will once again unite Pasadenans as the updates of the General Plan are created. Thousands of residents and businesses will continue to green their homes and offices, and will offer their input on a comprehensive plan for future water resources.
