Happy Valley Magazine 2024
A PLACE OF BELONGING
Our Happy Valley Business Alliance was created with connection in mind. As our city began growing over 20 years ago, business owners felt a lack of connectivity with each other and with our city leaders. The idea was to create a coalition with the intent to increase awareness of businesses, special events, and to promote a healthy business climate in Happy Valley and our surrounding communities.
As a result, our Happy Valley Business Alliance, or HVBA, was born.
Currently with over 100 members, our Alliance serves community and city leaders, small business owners, business leaders, politicians, and community members alike.
We want every business to have a voice. And we want residents to be familiar with who we are.
As one of the fastest growing cities in Oregon, our steadfast mission of awareness and connection has resulted in a deeper desire to create a place of
belonging. We hope this publication helps illustrate this notion and encourages a continued sense of pride in Happy Valley.
We trust that with each successful business, our community is served, and our city continues to flourish. For those who may be new to Happy Valley, I am happy you are here and excited to share all that it has to offer. To those who have lived here for years, your invaluable contributions have allowed this community to grow and have helped create this special place we are so lucky to call home.
