Overview

Mission

The purpose of the BVA is to create a thriving and attractive community surrounded by Anza Borrego Desert State Park where residents enjoy a quality lifestyle, prosperous businesses meet community needs, and well managed tourism enhances the well being of our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

Destination Management - The Borrego Village Association (BVA) has been working closely with a volunteer committee to replace the dilapidated welcome signs that are the first things visitors and residents see when they enter Borrego Springs. Originally installed in the 1970s, these signs are now faded, out-of-date, and no longer reflect the vibrancy of our community. The new welcome signs will support both our community residents and businesses. For the first time since the 1970s our communitys full and part-time residents' will have Welcome Signs that reflect their pride in their community (pride in place). The signs will also communicate to visitors, who drive our tourism-based economy, that Borrego Springs welcomes them and will reinforce Borregos destination brand identity as a friendly, attractive and vibrant place for visitors to recreate, shop and dine. After a planning process spanning two and a half years including two community surveys and broad local outreachthree new welcome sign designs were finalized, one for each of the locations identified in the surveys. The designs were developed in partnership with Graphic Solutions, a San Diego-based firm led by Simon Andrews, a part-time Borrego Springs resident. Their expertise, combined with valuable community input, has resulted in an exciting and meaningful project that will enhance the towns identity and sense of pride. The seed money to initiate this effort came to us thanks to a grant from the Borrego Valley Endowment Fund. Please see the attachments to this proposal for the sign designs and additional information.
