The Kern Economic Development Corporation
I am happy to represent the City of Tehachapi as a Board Member of the Kern County Economic Development Corporation. Kern EDC was formed in 1988 by some of Kern County’s most forward-thinking business leaders who recognized that the key to maintaining a strong and stable economic climate was to develop a diversified economic base. The Kern EDC focuses on recruiting new businesses into Kern County, and helping ensure the success and growth of existing local companies.
I hope, with the selection of the proper new City Manager, to be able to work with him to target and recruit businesses to the Tehachapi Valley that will offer real livable wage jobs for our locals without negatively impacting our way of life. With the green building techniques being in the spotlight and with our abundance of wind energy I believe we can successfully attract businesses that leave a smaller footprint.
