The Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation was created in 2009 to promote the Santa Clarita Valley as a dynamic business destination. Located in Northern Los Angeles County, with convenient access from Burbank and Los Angeles International Airports, the community is home to the largest collection of master-planned business parks in Los Angeles County, and offers a variety of business advantages.  Santa Clarita Valley features a highly educated work force, ease of freeway access along Interstate 5 and State Route 14, and an unmatched quality of life. Within the City of Santa Clarita, businesses enjoy a lower cost of doing business as no business license fee or tax, no gross receipts tax, and no utility users’ tax are assessed. In addition, the City offers a number of tax savings programs, such as the Enterprise Zone, Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ), and Use Tax Incentive Program.

The SCV EDC grew out of an economic development committee established by the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce in early 2009. More than 70 local business leaders joined the committee and initiated a number of activities designed to call attention to the favorable business climate in the Santa Clarita Valley.
