Growth: The City of Monrovia

Since 1975, the City of Monrovia and its Redevelopment Agency have aggressively addressed the needs of business and development. The results are tremendous. Over 150 projects have been completed for a combined valuation of $300 million—and thousands of new jobs created. In addition to the blue-chip companies previously mentioned, here’s some more facts that illustrate Monrovia’s dynamic business growth:

• Sales Tax Generation is 20% above the Los Angeles County average.
  
• Businesses in Monrovia generate more sales tax per capita than any other community in the San Gabriel Valley.
  
• Recently completed, a 12-screen, 2,700 seat Theater with large screen format in the center of Old Town.
  
• Second quarter sales tax revenues per capita were #1 in the area.
  
• The Home Depot Warehouse was #1 in sales – and it outperformed the Glendale location.
  
• Monrovia has the Strongest Auto Center on the 210 Freeway.
