A Message from Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors
Los Angeles County covers over 4,000 square miles and is the nation’s most diverse and populous county with more than 10.4 million residents representing more than 220 languages and cultures from around the world. Home to some of the world’s leading consumer markets, the largest labor force of any county in the United States, three world-class research universities and 117 other college and university campuses, the two largest seaports in America, and one of the busiest origin and destination airports anywhere, Los Angeles County has one of the world’s largest and most dynamic economies with annual economic activity in excess of $500 billion in 2008.
To guide job and business retention, expansion and attraction in this nationsized economy, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors wholeheartedly endorses this first-ever, ground-up, consensus strategic plan for economic development in Los Angeles County.
The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation facilitated the creation of the plan through a series of public meetings with a diverse array of participants from education, labor, business, government, and the environmental and environmental justice communities. This distinctive group of leaders from regions throughout the County was united in their commitment to a brighter economy, a cleaner environment, and a more broadly shared prosperity.
Now it’s time for all of us to come together, carry out and realize what’s contained in the “four corners” of this plan. To do so, we need champions to help implement the plan; and, there are roles for everyone in the public, private and non-profi t sectors to play. We invite local residents and the best and brightest leaders from the most creative firms from around the world to participate and help us reach our goals.
