RC selected for city improvement program

Rancho Cucamonga has been selected to participate in What Work Cities, a nationwide initiative sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

The program allows cities across the United States that use data and evidence to improve the quality of living for residents to improve on those efforts  – “to go further with what they’ve got,” according to a statement on the organization’s website.

Rancho Cucamonga’s selection was announced Friday.

City officials plan to use what it learns from What Works Cities to enhance its data collection and analysis in Rancho Cucamonga’s westside landscape and lighting districts, then apply those improvements citywide, according to a statement on the city’s website.
