"...the Inland Empire’s potential in green energy development and jobs is one potential bright spot. Higher value added firms will not move into the area if they cannot find a better qualified labor force. There is a real danger of complacency at this point because elected officials may simply look at the employment success without considering the cost at which this was achieved."


IRVINE GREAT PARK - Great Park has a rich foundation as the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, preserves Orange County’s agricultural heritage, and honors its military history. A project area spanning nearly 1,300 acres, with more than 500 acres developed and 300 acres in the first phase planning and design stage, the Great Park embraces recreation, competitive sports, parkland, and the environment.
