Ultimate Female Community Leader Laurene Weste (City of Santa Clarita)
The Santa Clarita community has come along way since incorporating over 30 years ago. Once vast open spaces and onion fields, our quaint little town has grown into a mixed-use space that boasts a family-friendly environment, wide open spaces and a booming business sector. Through the years our community has been molded by the hands of instrumental people like Councilwoman Laurene Weste whose dedication to service has made her an ongoing presence in local politics and development.
Laurene Weste has been working in politics for the past three decades and has been a driving force in what our community is today. As a huge advocate for open space, Councilwoman Weste has fought for environmental preservation. In 2007, Councilwoman Weste spear-headed the Open Space Preservation District which resulted in the City of Santa Clarita owning and joining with other public agencies to acquire over 11,000 acres of open space.
Looking towards the future Lauren Weste is still just as dedicated to the community as she was when she first started. Her goals and intentions for the future generations of our city is to work together and be proactive for whatever difference we wish to make.
