WELCOME TO THE LOMPOC VISION
“Changing the way we see ourselves and our neighbors.”

The Lompoc Vision newspaper was founded in 2003 with a bold mission: To shine a light on the good in our community and provide a voice for the often unheard. What began as a small, grassroots publication has blossomed into a trusted and beloved monthly newspaper that reaches thousands across the Lompoc Valley and beyond.

From day one, it has prioritized the power of positivity, education, and transformation. Whether it’s a story about someone rebuilding their life, a student succeeding against the odds, or a local nonprofit changing lives, The Lompoc Vision captures the heart and soul of our community.

Mr. Jordan,
Congrats to you and The Lompoc Vision Staff for 20 years of exemplary service to the Lompoc Community! I have been an avid reader of the Lompoc Vision for the past 19 years! The Vision keeps me informed on local community events. I am never disappointed with the contents. I always find a new eatery, some insightful medical commentary or a new event to visit! Here’s to many more years to come! Bravo! -Charlie J.

Dear Mr. Jordan, I recently discovered the Lompoc Vision while I was in Lompoc purchasing a car and enjoying dinner at a local restaurant.  What an informative local publication!  It really gave me a feel for your local community and I plan to spend more time in the Lompoc area.  Thank you for everything that you do! – A.J.

WOW…WOW….AND MORE WOW!!! Thank you SO MUCH Lompoc Vision for the excellent coverage you give us in this monthly fabulous Lompoc Vision. We are especially impressed with how you combined several articles on Page 6 and titled it “Life In The Vandenberg Lions Den.” And giving our scholarship winners their due recognition on Page 5 is really special.
Thank you again for all you do to remind us that we are truly living in a little bit of Heaven here on the Central Coast. – K.C.

I was just at the hospital for a procedure and picked up the Lompoc Vision… WOW! I love this newspaper! I’m am a new teacher and read the articles with intregue. (I’m re-reading several articles and planning to share). I will pick The Lompoc Vision up monthly!” -M.G.

This is nice, for us that still call Lompoc home or part of there lives but don’t get to visit. I was born and raised there moved a few times but moved away for good when I was 20. Got to visit a few times. It will always be home.

This message is for Mr. Jordan. As a member of a Lompoc pioneer family I enjoy your publication focusing on the Lompoc Valley and it’s neighborhoods. I especially enjoy reading about the historical past and the people and families that settled and developed Lompoc. My mother, Shirley McCabe Phelps was a long time member of the Lompoc Historical Society and was an important member in developing the Spannie House and the displays of Lompoc past. It is important for the nurturing of  a “sense of place” for people to learn and connect with the people of past generations. The early settlers, the farmers, merchants and miners that developed the town. Life in the Depression, WW II and Camp Cook. The immense change to the valley when Vandenberg AFB was constructed out on the mesa north of town, brought new life and direction to the people of the once  compact farming community. The 60’s & 70’s were a time of growth and expansion and brought many changes to our community. I would ask that you include more articles that trace the history of the wonderful community of Lompoc.
