I’ve had the honor of serving as Assistant County Executive Officer for the Economic Development Agency
(EDA) since April of 2009. In the last six years, I have seen amazing growth throughout the Agency. We
proudly serve as one of Riverside County’s largest agencies, with more than 830 employees and an annual
budget of just over $496 million.
Of particular note, are some of the strides that Riverside County hasmade this past year: goods, manufacturing,
and construction job opportunities have increased by 3.7%, and in May, we celebrated the announcement
that Riverside County is now the 10th most populated County in the United States.
It has beenmy privilege to lead this Agency through this last year. Please look through the 2014/2015 annual
report to share in our accomplishments.e EDA teamcontinually works to enhance the economic position
of the County and its residents, and this report highlights all the hard work and effort that this Agency
provides every day.
