Good morning, Oxnard.

Amgen announced a $600M plan to replace Building 14 at its Thousand Oaks campus with a new research and development center that will soon bring together scientists, researchers and engineers—Ventura County leaders say the project will boost local biotech and create hundreds of U.S. jobs.

Ventura County theaters will present a diverse lineup of fall plays and musicals—ranging from classics like Chicago The Musical to innovative local shows in Oxnard, with performances scheduled through the holiday season.

Local audiences can experience unique productions that blend tradition and modern storytelling.

Ventura County is preparing for a special election as early voting will begin on Oct.

6—18 vote centers will be open and about 150 workers will be hired by Election Day. Voters will decide on Proposition 50 to use temporary congressional maps until after the 2030 census.
