Year in Review Video
The City of Paso Robles spent 2022 innovating and collaborating - some might say pioneering. So did local businesses and non-profit organizations. All of it was made possible through the hard work of our local residents and employees, City staff, volunteers and elected officials. This video shows our year in headlines, along with photos of City employees and volunteers in action. Music is Pioneer by Beckah Shae and
Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw
