In 2006, the LAEDC created the "business-friendly" award category to recognize cities within the County that are proactively promoting business-friendly programs and services.

"All of this year's finalists have made economic development and job creation a top priority," said LAEDC president and CEO, Bill Allen. "This year, we received more applications from cities throughout the County than in any other year in the award's history. These cities understand that having healthy, vibrant and prosperous communities depend on attracting, retaining and growing businesses which are so critical to sustaining our economic vitality and quality of life."
