Why County of San Bernardino?


As the largest county in the nation, the County of San Bernardino is bigger than some states and provides unrivaled access to local and global markets, a diverse workforce of nearly one million people, and an affordable quality of life.

The County begins about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and stretches to the Arizona and Nevada borders.  This central Southern California location puts businesses at the heart of a local market of 23 million people and within three hours driving distance of a GDP of $1 trillion US.

The region is well known for its unparalleled infrastructure including most major Southern California freeways, two of the busiest rail lines in the country, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and several Southern California airports.

The County’s geographic diversity includes deserts, mountains, and arid valleys that enjoy an average 340 plus days of sunshine each year.

The Economic Development Agency provides significant resources and programs to businesses considering a location in the County so they can grow and thrive in this important region of Southern California.
