San Luis Economic Development Commission Meeting — July 16, 2026
The commission recommended 11 artists for the city's Approved Artist List, setting up murals at Main and B Street, utility box art, and a well-site mural. Many artists are local, which supporters said helps grow San Luis's own creative economy.
Regular City Council Meeting — May 27, 2026
The final paving piece of the intersection rebuild — with new signals, turn lanes, ADA ramps and bike lanes — was awarded for $58,258.20, way under the $865K estimate because city crews did most of the work in-house. Construction starts the week of June 9.
