“I think Chino comes down to three things; front porches, iced tea and neighbors. The front porch goes with the atmosphere, sitting out in the evening. The iced tea goes back to the good water that we have here, and then the neighbors. This town is small enough that if you’ve been here for very long everybody here is your neighbor.” —Mayor Jack Miller
Chino Valley is the Quad Cities Sleeper
Chino Valley is on the move and in a positive and smart growth direction. There are many amazing projects in the permitting stages and a ton of retail taking notice of our growing population and 30,000 cars-a-day traffic counts.

core at Road 2 North.
