The City is a natural hub for industry and commerce.</p> <p>The City of Ontario, California also continues to prosper because of its people. At 185,000 residents, up 10 percent since 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau predicts Ontario’s population will double by 2035. Ontario’s unemployment rate has declined steadily in recent years, but still touts a ready labor pool of skilled workers that is primed to grow.</p> <p>Ontario endured the recession because its elected leader’s, continue searching for ways to improve the quality of life, invest in public infrastructure and increase economic opportunities, both for businesses and for the community.</p> <p>Although the Ontario International Airport is already the fifteenth busiest airport in the nation, as measured by air cargo, the Ontario International Airport Authority is working to make the best and fullest use of that invaluable asset. The City is also working on plans to develop mixed-use urban lifestyle districts that will include residential homes, retail and office space, industrial and business parks, and town centers.</p> <p>Just as you invest in your business, Ontario, California invests in its community, which is why our city is the perfect place to start, expand or relocate your business – today and well into the future.</p> </div></div></div></article></div></div></main><footer class="bg-primary-5 text-white pt-8 lg:pt-16 pb-8"><div class="container mx-auto"><div class="lg:flex lg:flex-col xl:flex-row gap-8 mb-8"><div class="xl:w-3/12 gap-4 mb-8 flex xl:flex-col"><img alt="County Logo" loading="lazy" width="300" height="150" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="w-full h-min max-w-[30%] md:max-w-[15rem] lg:max-w-xs mt-0 lg:mt-[-3.125rem] mb-4 md:mb-0" style="color:transparent" src="/static/COCA_TB_Inverse_Logo.svg"/><div class="flex flex-col lg:justify-between lg:block"><p>303 East B Street</p><div class="mb-8"><p>Ontario, CA 91764</p></div><div class="flex items-baseline mb-2 text-black text-lg font-bold text-white mb-2"><i class="fa-light fa-light fa-phone pr-2 w-6 flex-none"></i><span class="flex-1"><a class="underline underline-offset-2 hover:text-primary-1" href="tel:909-395-2005">909-395-2005</a></span></div><div class="flex items-baseline mb-2 text-black text-lg font-bold text-white mb-2"><i class="fa-light fa-light fa-envelope pr-2 w-6 flex-none"></i><span class="flex-1"><a class="underline underline-offset-2 hover:text-primary-1" href="/contact-us">Contact Us</a></span></div></div></div><div class="hidden xl:w-9/12 xl:mt-8 lg:flex lg:flex-wrap justify-between"><div class="flex flex-col gap-4 lg:max-w-[24%]"><a class="font-bold mb-2 hover:underline" href="/why-ontario">Why Ontario?</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/why-ontario/economic-growth">Economic Growth</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/why-ontario/international-trade">International Trade</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/why-ontario/lifestyle">Lifestyle</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/why-ontario/strategic-advantages">Strategic Advantages</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/why-ontario/transportation-logistics">Transportation & Logistics</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/why-ontario/data-demographics">Data & Demographics</a></div><div class="flex flex-col gap-4 lg:max-w-[24%]"><a class="font-bold mb-2 hover:underline" href="/develop-ontario">Develop in Ontario</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/develop-ontario/district-information">District Information</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/develop-ontario/site-selectors">For Site Selectors</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/develop-ontario/opportunity-zone">Opportunity Zone</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/develop-ontario/start-your-business">Start Your Business</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/develop-ontario/target-industries">Target Industries</a></div><div class="flex flex-col gap-4 lg:max-w-[24%]"><a class="font-bold mb-2 hover:underline" href="/business-resources">Business Resources</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/BusinessAssistance">Business & Site Selection Assistance</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/business-resources/business-agreements-reports">Business Agreements & Reports</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/business-resources/business-organizations">Business Organizations</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/business-resources/downloads">Downloads</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/business-resources/fees-permits-licenses">Fees, Permits & Licenses</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/business-resources/loans-rebates-and-other-assistance">Loans, Rebates and Other Assistance</a></div><div class="flex flex-col gap-4 lg:max-w-[24%]"><a class="font-bold mb-2 hover:underline" href="/grow-your-business">Grow Your Business</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/grow-your-business/expand-or-relocate-your-business">Expand or Relocate Your Business</a><a class="hover:underline" href="/grow-your-business/workforceprofessional-development">Workforce/Professional Development</a></div></div></div><div class="flex flex-col xl:flex-row mt-4 xl:mt-0 border-b-2 border-background-1 lg:pb-12"><p class="font-bold hidden lg:block">Ontario City Council</p><p class="hidden lg:block xl:ml-8">Mayor Paul S.
