The Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation (SCVEDC) is a regional economic development organization, located in Southern California, just 30 miles north of the City of Los Angeles. Our mandate is simple: work to attract, retain and expand high value business and industry in the Santa Clarita Valley. Through multi-channel marketing initiatives, site surveys, strategic partnerships, and research services, SCVEDC provides regional stakeholders and its investors with the necessary resources to promote the benefits of doing business in the Santa Clarita Valley. The Santa Clarita Valley is a community that provides the benefits of LA without the hassle. Unlike other locations in the San Fernando Valley, our commercial properties are more modern, and newer, with cheaper rents than those closer to the city. Our quality of life is also higher, with less traffic, lower rents, and groundbreaking sustainability initiatives, but still only within an hour’s drive of all the amenities in LA. Furthermore, you can have all this without sacrificing talent, as Santa Clarita has 15 local institutions that provide a highly skilled workforce pipeline. Our industry focus includes aerospace and defense, bioscience and medical devices, advanced manufacturing, digital and entertainment, information technology, and corporate hq.
