The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) announced, on September 11th, the finalists for its 2019 Most Business-Friendly City in LA County Award. The City of La Mirada was named a finalist in the population under 50,000 category.

Business-friendly programs and services are a critical factor in job-creation.  The finalists were selected through independent review by a panel of blue-ribbon judges, based on the following criteria:

  • Demonstrated priority commitment to economic development and quality jobs
  • Excellence in programs and services designed to facilitate business entry, expansion, and retention
  • Competitive business tax rates and fee structures
  • Availability of economic incentives
  • Effective communication with and about business clients

The LAEDC states “The business community has served an important role in establishing the City of La Mirada’s quality environment. Industrial and commercial centers provide the city with a diversified economic base that has remained resilient over the city’s 60 years. This strong economic base has provided important jobs, enhanced commerce, and allowed the city to provide quality programs and services necessary for creating a desirable community in which to work and reside.”

In 2013, the City of La Mirada was awarded Most Business-Friendly City in Los Angeles County with less than 50,000 residents by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. The city was also a “Most Business-Friendly City” finalist in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
