THE LONG BEACH ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP WAS HONORED TO HOST THE INAUGURAL ALL READY HERE SITE SELECTORS CONFERENCE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF LONG BEACH, OFFICE OF MAYOR REX RICHARDSON, AND VISIT LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. FOR MANY, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HEARING THE TERM “SITE SELECTOR” AND THE PROCESS PROVED EDUCATIONAL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION.
A jam-packed agenda gave the site selectors a unique opportunity to hear about the experience of locating a business in Long Beach from some of the key industry leaders and members of the business community. They cited the benefits of the region, and how the city plays a role in enhancing and supporting business growth and retention. While Long Beach is known for its prime geographic location between Los Angeles and Orange counties, with a long history in aerospace and aviation, and home to one of the nation’s largest seaports, for many of our visitors, it was their first time hearing directly from those engaged in these industries and learning about the advantages of living and working in Long Beach.
