Impact of Industrial Expansion on the Inland Empire

The Inland Empire has experienced a rapid industrial expansion over the past few decades. The region is home to several large corporations expanding their operations, creating new jobs, and bringing in millions of dollars in revenue each year.

Expanding industries like real estate, agriculture, and manufacturing have brought many benefits to the Inland Empire and its residents. These benefits include increased employment opportunities for residents, increased tax revenue generated by these companies, and reduced air pollution from industrial facilities.
