Community Character
Glenn County has maintained its rural,  small town character and preserved its
quality of life. Glenn County's assets and heritage are protected
and preserved while providing for growth and development. The communities are family-friendly
with the feel of small agricultural towns and a strong sense of place or
belonging appreciated by all residents and businesses. The residents understand and
appreciate the role agriculture plays in the history and economy of the area.
Growth and development occurs predominantly within and adjacent to existing
community. New communities are
emerging along Interstate 5 corridor at major interchanges. These new growth
areas are carefully planned, including requirements for establishment
community services and facilities as well as a strong sense of place. Within the urbanizing area of Orland
and Willows, the cities and the County continue close communication and
cooperation, to ensure that land resources and public services are utilized in the most beneficial
and effective way. The role of volunteers within the communities is preserved
as part of the lifestyle and governmental structure in Glenn County.
