Riverside County is a strategic location for business because of the many incentive zones throughout the county, the diverse and accessible transportation network and the high quality of life.

Coachella Valley  Enterprise Zone
The state-designated zone is a 56 square mile, 36,000+ acre area covering the cities of Indio and Coachella, along with the unincorporated communities of Thousand Palms, Thermal and Mecca. Numerous state tax incentives are available to businesses located within the zone

Recycling Market Development Zones
The Recycling Market Development Zones strive to attract businesses using recycled materials in their manufacturing process.

In addition, the Agency provides assistance to improve, preserve and increase the supply of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income persons in all unincorporated areas of the county.
