Once again, the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) named Santa Clarita as a finalist for the most business friendly city in all of Los Angeles County. This year, the LAEDC created two categories for this award to recognize cities with populations of 50,000 and above and those with 50,000 and under. Santa Clarita was selected as part of the population 50,000 and above category through its demonstration of business-friendly practices such as no business license fee or tax, no utility users’ fee, effective communication with the business community, and the Santa Clarita Enterprise Zone. Santa Clarita was selected from among 88 Los Angeles cities for this recognition.
At the annual League of California Cities conference in September, the City of Santa Clarita’s film and tourism programs were recognized for their contributions in economic development with a prestigious Helen Putnam Award of Excellence. This award is given to a handful of California’s 480 cities annually, recognizing outstanding achievements for programs and projects. Santa Clarita’s successes in attracting and supporting the entertainment industry and location filming, in addition to the City’s efforts to attract national and international tourism events were lauded as outstanding by the League.
