Western City Magazine invited California cities of different sizes and different economies to share their top priorities for economic development as they recover from the impacts of the pandemic. As California reopens for business, municipal economic development offices are busy analyzing strategies to best position their communities to not only survive – but thrive – as resilient, inclusive, and vibrant places to live.
Thank you to the cities of Big Bear Lake, Vista, Corona, and Long Beach, with populations ranging from just more than 5,000 to just under 500,000, for sharing your top economic development priorities this year. Regardless of size and geography, these cities had a number of priorities in common.
