California City EDC started as California City Promotions in 1992 and evolved into California City Economic Development Corporation in 2001, but the goal always remained the same:

Dedication to the advertizing and promotion of California City and its economic growth by stimulating activities, information and support to existing and new businesses.

EDC is a non profit corporation.

Today... California City plans to be the emerging energy capital of Kern County... Solar power is getting on the bidding and locating phase and is really promising at this time.

California Sunrise (a local company) has already installed a solar equipped home and has been approved for a solar farm on Redwood ave (see artist rendering on the right). Luz Engineering is already operating a nearby solar energy generating plan (close to Boron) and employ around 200 employees.

More solar and wind industries are inquiring about land to buy to set their roots in one of the sunniest spot in the world.

California City is also the Off Road Mecca of California. The desert riders have long time ago made our trails and open spaces the central "rendez vous" for Off Road Vehicle owners and their family. Cal City is also a paradise for hikers, site seers, photographers and campers who enjoy staying the whole weekend and even longer.

Regardless of the present economy, builders have invested in new construction and the city is ready for expansion with more than 200 new homes offered at unbeatable prices and many commercial and industrial facilities or land to build are also available.

The local airport and the proximity of a major freeway at each end of town, makes commuting to other cities like Bakersfield, Lancaster/Palmdale, Ridgecrest and even Los Angeles, very practical; Not to mention the new Mojave Spaceport, Edwards and China Lake military bases that are just minutes away from California City.

The most complete and recent statistics found about California City were compiled by

GAVEA (Greater Antelope Valley Economic Alliance) 2008 Report.

An interesting prediction resulting from their studies is that the Greater California City/Mojave population is expected to grow as this:

2010 24,396

2020 30,972

2030 36,111

Those predictions are very conservative considering growing Greater Los Angeles is overflowing in the only available and logical direction...  Ours!

The California City Economic Development Corporation was formed with the mission of promoting a diversified and comprehensible economic climate that will stimulate growth in our city. This will be accomplished through new business recruitment along with assistance in retention and expansion of existing businesses.

The area's strategic location combined with reasonable housing and land prices, plus abundance of a workforce, makes California City a model venue for progressive enterprises of today and the future for a high quality of life.

With the local wind and solar energy developments on the verge of being realized, the EDC makes every efforts to support and promote the pioneers in these new fields from existing business to major corporations already in place.
