Moreno Valley's Digital Resilience Fuels Innovation and Growth

In 1945, engineers discovered a moth trapped in the Harvard Mark II computer, coining the term "computer bug."

 

This incident sparked a culture of meticulous problem-solving that continues to drive technological advancement.

 

Moreno Valley exemplifies this spirit of innovation and resilience.

 

Whether it's a logistics center addressing sensor malfunctions during peak hours, a teacher swiftly rebooting a classroom device, or a local entrepreneur resolving audio issues before a product launch, MoVal's community consistently demonstrates adaptability and determination.

 

Recent initiatives underscore this commitment.

 

The city's Technology Services Division earned the Excellence in IT Practices Award from the Municipal Information Systems Association of California for the 23rd consecutive year, highlighting a steadfast dedication to technological excellence.

 

Additionally, the EVolution Moreno Valley program received a 2025 Sustainability Award from the Southern California Association of Governments for its efforts in developing a zero-emissions municipal fleet, the largest in Riverside County.

 

These achievements reflect a broader ethos: embracing challenges as opportunities for growth.

 

Just as the 1945 engineers turned a literal bug into a lesson in resilience, Moreno Valley transforms obstacles into catalysts for innovation.

 

In MoVal, the fix isn't just a solution—it's the next step toward a stronger, more dynamic community.
