Regions Rise Together Kicks Off in the Inland Empire

Leaders From Inland Empire’s civic, educational, philanthropic and business sectors gathered with the State’s economic development team at California State University San Bernardino last week to begin work on Regions Rise Together. It was the first of several joint strategy sessions to gather input from local stakeholders to understand the challenges that face the regions as well as assets that can be utilized for future economic growth. Often referred to as the “IE” or the “909,” the Inland Empire is a large geographic location with a growing population where incomes are declining relative to the entire state. While the region, which includes Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, has experienced job and business growth in recent years, it still faces challenges both distinct from and similar to other inland areas of the state. “I’m excited about hearing the diverse voices from different sectors, different parts of the Inland Empire coming together to talk about the future of the region that they want to see,” said Lenny Mendonca, the chief economic and business advisor to Governor Gavin Newsom and director of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz). “One that is robust, exciting, job-creating, growing and much more inclusive and sustainable. So it’s great to see all the voices in the room engaged in that conversation.” Read the full story here: https://cafwd.org/reporting/entry-new... Music by BenSound.com.
