The City of Lincoln continues to offer an exceptional balance of opportunity, safety and quality of life — values that have defined the community since its incorporation 135 years ago.
Recognized as the fourth safest city in California, Lincoln provides a welcoming environment where families thrive, businesses grow and innovation flourishes. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the Greater Sacramento region, our city remains a prime destination for living, working and investing.
With a growing population, Lincoln is expanding with intention and creatIng vibrant neighborhoods, new community parks and active business districts that strengthen the city’s sense of place. Our residents enjoy high-performing schools, access to a skilled and diverse workforce, and abundant opportunities for arts, culture and recreation. Lincoln honors its small-town roots while embracing a forward-looking vision for sustainable growth.
“Lincoln’s strength lies in our ability to honor our heritage while embracing innovation and opportunity,” says City Manager Sean Scully. “We are building a city that not only supports today’s families and businesses, but also inspires the next generation to live here.”
Strategic development along the northwest side of Highway 65 offers the perfect location for commercial investment. Nearby, the Lincoln Regional Airport is expanding, with over 65 new hangars under construction. Adjacent to the airport, the Lincoln Airport Business Park encompasses 84 acres of undeveloped land, positioned to become one of the city’s largest economic engines to advance aviation, clean energy and technology.
Additional projects such as West Lincoln Square and Village 5 are planned as dynamic developments, integrating various combinations of housing, commercial, dining, retail, recreation and open space. The recent opening of a new La Quinta Inn & Suites further enhances Lincoln’s hospitality options, which supports local sports and agri-tourism.
Lincoln’s success is strengthened through partnerships with the local Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Lincoln Association, educational institutions and community organizations. With bold initiatives like downtown revitalization, a thriving small business community and enduring civic pride, it’s clear why more than 53,000 residents — and counting — proudly call Lincoln home.
