This past week was exciting for the cities of Long Beach and Santa Fe Springs, which both were honored as being the two most business friendly cities. The award was given by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Coporation (LAEDC) at the 14th annual Eddy awards ceremony.

Long Beach took the honors for the most business friendly city with over 60,000 citizens while Santa Fe Springs won the award for the most business friendly city with less than 60,000 citizens.

The California Business Blog had this to say about Long Beach’s win, “Long Beach believes that a city must invest in modern infrastructure as a foundation for the development of long term economic prosperity for its businesses and residents and that is why they are committing more than $1.1 billion to infrastructure investments. They are also demonstrating their commitment to retaining jobs in their region through an investment in the local business community by offering Enterprise Zone benefits, expedited permit processing, and a transparent, proactive government comprised of civic leaders who understand the necessity of planned growth.”
