Choose Upland, Support Upland

Choose Upland. Support Upland.

Every time you shop, dine out, or fill up your gas tank here in Upland, you’re doing more than just checking off your to-do list—you’re investing in our community.

Local businesses are the backbone of our city. They provide first jobs and valuable experience for our youth, and many of them are owned and operated by your neighbors. These same businesses are the ones sponsoring Upland CERT, youth sports leagues, scout troops, and other programs that directly benefit our families.

When you choose to spend your dollars locally, those dollars stay here—helping to fund the services that make Upland a great place to live. Sales tax from everyday purchases supports our police and fire departments, street repairs, parks, and community programs. Simply put, local spending strengthens local services.

Thanks to steady activity across several business sectors, our city’s most recent sales tax report reflects a healthy and stable local economy. That momentum is no accident—our Economic Development Division has been working diligently to bring new businesses to Upland, offering more options and convenience for residents while growing our tax base and creating jobs.

The results are clear: more and more Upland residents are choosing to stay local—and we’re all seeing the benefits right here in our own neighborhoods.

Supporting your city doesn’t require a grand gesture. It’s as easy as making Upland your first choice for shopping, dining, entertainment, and services. When you choose Upland, you're choosing to invest in our future.
