In 2040, Hermiston is a community where everyone is welcome – whether you’re visiting or looking for a place to call home, we provide a safe, beautiful, and close-knit community where neighbors help one another, and friendliness and opportunity abound. From a booming economy to recreational amenities, we have big city services rooted in small-town values. Check out our 2040 Hermiston Community Vision & Action Plan. [1]
