SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA (Aug. 30, 2011) – Simpson Strong-Tie, a leading manufacturer of structural products for the building industry, chose an existing 396,600-square-foot industrial building in the Agua Mansa redevelopment area of the County of San Bernardino for a major relocation. Simpson Strong-Tie relocated its Brea, California operations to the County to increase plant capacity and improve efficiency. The new expanded location houses more than 184 office, manufacturing and warehouse staff.
The manufacturer will be taking advantage of the San Bernardino Valley Enterprise Zone (SBVEZ) initiatives which provide qualified businesses with substantial State tax credits and benefits, including hiring tax credits and sales or use tax credits, among others.
The SBVEZ was created under the California Enterprise Zone Program to stimulate economic growth and job creation. The SBVEZ area encompasses 42 square miles in the cities of San Bernardino, Colton and unincorporated portions of the County.
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors recently approved the addition of 1,252 acres of County unincorporated area to the SBVEZ to extend the Enterprise Zone tax credits and benefits to more businesses who are considering a County location.
“Simpson Strong-Tie is indicative of the kind of quality manufacturer that is attracted to the County,” said Josie Gonzales (top right photo), Chair, County of San Bernardino Fifth District Supervisor.
.”We’re honored to have them move into the region and look forward to working with them to build their operation and grow their workforce. Their move further underscores the advantages San Bernardino County has to offer manufacturers and other industry leaders through programs such as the Enterprise Zone,” Erik Wanland and Tom Dorman of CB Richard Ellis represented Simpson Strong-Tie in the move.
