Monrovia Is Very Business Friendly

Monrovia is one of LA County's six most business-friendly small cities.

The Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation lists Monrovia (along with neighbors Duarte and Azusa) among its six finalists for cities with less than 60,000 population.

The winner will be announced November 10.

Here's the blurb from the press release about Monrovia:

"Monrovia public officials and staff work tirelessly to attract and retain businesses in this city of nearly 40,000 residents. With a diverse portfolio of businesses ranging from nationally known technology firms to small businesses, Monrovia offers an array of services and incentives for businesses including financial relocation assistance, lease/tenant subsidies, broker bounties, the Old Town business development assistance and facade improvement programs, two redevelopment project areas, no utility user tax assessment and city fees that are well below the average of other San Gabriel Valley cities. Monrovia was also named a finalist in 2008."
