Located at the corner of School and Oak Streets and near a large, bronze sculpture of a couple who are 'Celebrating the Harvest' is the Lodi Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce
website says it best in describing this city's history:
Take a drive beyond Lodi’s historic downtown, and you will see one of the reasons why this community is someplace special. The shady streets are filled with the laughter of children playing in the parks and riding bikes in safe neighborhoods where neighbors still know one another.
Lodi is a community that has not joined the isolationism of modern urbanization. It has a strong sense of community through people who live and work together in a great deal of harmony. We are ethnically diverse, which affords us opportunities to enjoy our rich cultural heritages.
This is the community, whose residents went door-to-door over 50 years ago to raise money to build a community hospital that still superbly serves the community today.
This community’s residents rescued the old fire-ravaged high school one fundraiser at a time. Pledge after pledge they built the 10 acre Hutchins Street Square, a community complex and conference center that is second to none in the Central Valley. In addition to being the epicenter for the performing arts, with a 789-seat theatre, the complex also serves youth through Camp Hutchins and the community’s senior population.
Newcomers to Lodi often feel as if they have gone back in time to a place where civic pride and community spirit are very personal, and the warmth is felt and seen in the greetings of its residents.
Lodi is special because of its people. Lodi has been blessed with great residents. They are people of vision and foresight who strive to maintain a quality of life unequaled in the Central Valley. Besides being a great location nestled between sea and mountains, Lodi is presently enjoying a renaissance and the excitement is infectious.
Lodi is a modern city with a hometown feel. It remembers and celebrates its people and their contributions, which have made Lodi a community to envy. It is this heritage of pride that keeps Lodi a coveted place to live and raise families. Lodi continues to improve and serve the needs of its people without sacrificing the quality of life we appreciate so much – it’s simply “Lodi-Style.”
