City of Selma

City of Selma
In the past few years Selma has become the "hub" of growth for the south valley. In addition to many new housing projects, Selma is very proud of its downtown, industrial and commercial developments it has attracted in recent years. These include new shopping opportunities including national retailers Home Depot, Game Stop, Big 5 Sporting Goods and two auto malls.
