ROGER BAAR, PRESIDENT

“The most important thing I’ve found out about Monrovia is that it is a very friendly place, far in excess of what I ever expected out of any city.

The mayor and general manager have been constantly in touch and made themselves available. The way they come together shows me they listen, which is important these days to business.

Another thing that’s been important to us is the incredible and proactive response from the Police and Fire Departments to educate my staff and make us feel safe. In the five years we’ve been here, the few minor incidents, have been handled immediately. It’s raised the comfort level and confidence of myself and my staff quite a bit.

As a business, handling out–of–town visitors is important to us. The easy accessibility to the 605 (San Gabriel) and 210 (Foothill) freeways from either LAX, Burbank or Ontario airports is really quite nice. You’re near the freeways, but you wouldn’t even know it. It is also good for our international shipments both in–and–out of the company.

The hotels and restaurants are absolutely fantastic and our customers and suppliers always rave about them.

Our experience in Monrovia has been an excellent one, and in fact when the opportunity arose, we chose to stay in Monrovia as we expanded.

We have enjoyed our presence in Monrovia.”
