Regarding Antelope valley, I haven’t visited and don’t plan to until I have acquired enough knowledge and things lead me towards investing there.
But just to show some pitching points from the seminar:
1. Population growth: fastest in US. From around 150k grew to 300k.
2. Industries: Defense (Northrop Grumman Corporation), Store chain & warehousing (4 walmart supercenters, etc), green energy (eSolar, BYD), inland port (store containers from Long Beach &LA ports)
3. One college
4. transportation: several railways under construction through it. One airport, not used commercially but the city plans to take it over and use it commercially.
Those are most I can remember.

[quote=Hobie]Have you driven through the area? Learning who lives there will be a large factor in your thoughts moving forward.
The 14 Fwy is the main artery and gets congested. This is a hindrance to the growth you need in the area.
Temec took off in part due to its relatively close location to Orange, Riv, SD. All with good Fwy access.
Lancaster/Palm is just too far removed from LA. So you have to look at what industries are locating there and will support the growth.
City of Adalanto had similar pitches a years ago so check out its history.
