239 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2019 RANCHO CUCAMONGA , CAL I FORNI A BVM: What else would you want our readers to know about Rancho Cucamonga? Gillison: “Rancho Cucamonga is a relatively young community – we’re just a little over 40 years old. So, one of the benefits of that is that the City has been very carefully planned from the beginning. We are fortunate that we’ve been able to avoid some of the challenges that plague older communities, which developed in the early 1900s, and didn’t benefit from the same level of planning, knowledge, and resources that we have – being able to learn from what others have done. The idea of a City with a plan that’s a world-class community is core to the City’s image. And our challenge, right now, is taking those attributes and moving them into the 21st century, highlighting where technology is taking communities. We’re located in the Inland Empire, but on the western edge of San Bernardino County and about 50 miles from Los Angeles. So, in many ways, we’re much more akin to a beach community in terms of the way we’re growing and developing and trying to attract younger workers and knowledge-focused businesses.” Burris: “I think one of the most noteworthy things about the City is how successful it has been in focusing on quality of life and understanding how that focus extends beyond just meeting the needs and interests of its residents, but how it can be such an effective economic development strategy. Not only does it help us attract businesses, because we can say it’s such a great place to work, but this guiding light of creating a great place that people want to be, really helps to drive the economy and gives the City a strong foundation for deploying some of our more progressive green and sustainable strategies. They’re so important in how we impact the region, the state, and the rest of the world.” 䔀䐀唀䌀䄀吀䤀一䜀 吀䠀䔀 䔀䴀倀䰀伀夀䔀䔀匀 伀䘀 吀伀䐀䄀夀 䄀一䐀 吀伀䴀伀刀刀伀圀 ∠ 䌀漀渀琀爀椀戀甀琀椀渀最 愀戀漀甀琀    ␀㘀　　 洀椀氀氀椀漀渀    琀漀琀愀氀 椀渀挀漀洀攀    琀漀 琀栀攀 爀攀最椀漀渀    愀渀渀甀愀氀氀礀 ∠ 匀甀瀀瀀漀爀琀椀渀最 洀漀爀攀    琀栀愀渀 ㄀　Ⰰ　　　 樀漀戀猀     椀渀 琀栀攀 爀攀最椀漀渀 ∠ 匀攀爀瘀椀渀最 ㈀㤀Ⰰ　　　    猀琀甀搀攀渀琀猀 瀀攀爀 礀攀愀爀 眀眀眀⸀挀栀愀昀昀攀礀⸀攀搀甀 (909) 993-5470 www.elecnorbelco.com 1 4 3 2 0 A L B E R S WA Y , CH I NO , CA 9 1 7 1 0 The highest level of expertise.
