Later that day, Costa highlighted a visit to a major regional distribution center: “To keep our Valley moving, it is essential to understand the supply chains that help power it.
I recently toured the Best Buy Regional Distribution Center in Dinuba.
It was great to learn more about their operations, meet members of their workforce, and see firsthand how” (posted April 14, 2026).
Continuing his focus on logistics and employment in the region, Costa posted on April 15: “It was great to tour the Walmart facility in Dinuba and get a behind-the-scenes look at its operations and impact on our community.
With more than 2,500 associates employed across our Valley, we had a meaningful discussion on workforce development, supply chain logistics,” (posted April 15, 2026).
