Horsetowns: Norco
town guests. T e economics of attracting
out-of-towners is key to maintain- ing Norco’s long-term ability to prioritize everything horses. Sales taxes help off set revenues some- what lessened by the suppression of higher-density housing, an anathema to the beloved large lots of Horsetown USA. “I know you have to allow a cer- tain amount of high-density hous- ing, but we just have to be careful about where it goes,” says Mayor Hanna. “Also, we’re trying to fi g- ure out the right businesses that will bring in revenue. T e densi- ty—you get some revenue at the beginning and the fees—but the property taxes don’t make that much every year. Sales tax is pre- ferred on what the people spend in stores and all. T at’s what we depend on, so we can keep every- thing a half-acre or larger in ani- mal-keeping sized lots.” Some new revenue-generators
set to open in 2014 include a new Fairfi eld Inn by Marriott, which will accommodate equestrian con-

Park a destination point in the city,” added Mayor Hanna. “We want all the events we can get up there, and have people to come and perform there. So, We’re always trying to do something to attract new business and keep the old business coming back.” An even bigger project is still under way on the north side of town, the Silverlakes Equestrian Park, a proposed 122-acre multi- use recreational facility that will be used for equestrian events, soc- cer, football, fi eld hockey, lacrosse, and other sports. T e facility will consist of extensive lawn areas, all-weather sand surface areas, a multi-purpose climate-con- trolled barn and event building, temporary barns, camping and recreational vehicle hook-ups, and a reception hall.
