About the Client

The City of Selma is a rapidly growing and richly diverse community of close to 25,000 people.
The City of Selma is situated in the heart of the Central Valley just southeast of Fresno on
Highway 99. The main entrances of Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks are
just seventy miles away and the central coast is less than three hours’ drive away. There are also
direct lines of travel to both San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Even as Selma grows, it strives to retain small town qualities and lifestyle. The quaint central
business district has continued to thrive. An economic development consortium of public and
private entities collaborates to support local business and welcome new businesses owners and
developers to the area. Although the Selma area produces about 90% of the raisins in the U.S.
and Selma is called “The Raisin Capital of the World,” the city also harkens back to the early
days and calls itself, “A Peach of a City.” In addition to farming, Selma has manufacturing, and
meat production. Selma is also home to several major health care facilities.

Selma is a great place to live and work. There are year-round events, community groups, arts,
and culture for all ages. The Selma Arts Center, designed by renowned Californian architect,
Arthur Dyson is a performing and visual arts center. Selma offers education for all ages,
including colleges nearby in Fresno as well as vocational schools.
