Workforce & Industrial Development

Nestled in California’s Inland Empire, Loma Linda is strategically positioned for industrial and logistics growth, benefiting from its proximity to major transportation corridors like I-10, I-215, and the San Bernardino International Airport. The city’s location places it within one of the nation’s most dynamic distribution and warehousing markets, making it attractive for companies seeking access to Southern California’s vast consumer base and ports.

Industrial real estate activity in Loma Linda and the surrounding San Bernardino County remains robust, with demand for modern logistics, light manufacturing, and distribution facilities continuing to outpace supply. Developers are responding with new industrial parks and speculative builds, while vacancy rates remain low and rental rates trend upward.

Loma Linda’s workforce is supported by regional training initiatives and partnerships with local institutions, including the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board. These programs offer customized training and recruitment services for advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics sectors, ensuring a steady pipeline of skilled talent.

California’s robust incentive landscape is also accessible to Loma Linda businesses. State programs such as the California Competes Tax Credit and the Employment Training Panel provide financial assistance for job creation, capital investment, and workforce upskilling. At the local level, the city and county offer guidance on permitting, site selection, and business support to streamline industrial expansion.
