Clovis is good for business
Retail, manufacturing and research industry leaders are discovering just that as they relocate and expand operations in this business-savvy community in the shadows of the Sierra Nevada. With a first-rate Community and Economic Development department that makes it its business to know business, new companies increasingly are discovering the secret of Clovis.
Consider Anlin, an industry leader in window-replacement manufacturing. It kicked off operations in Clovis four years ago with 92 employees. Today, its work force tops 300. Pelco, the world’s largest manufacturer of security cameras, set up shop in Clovis in 1988 with 100 employees. Today, 1300 people work for Pelco, all earning respectable living wages.
Why Businesses Call Clovis Home
It’s no secret why companies such as these make Clovis their home.
- Qualityschools and the best in public safety services.
- Industrial Parks with great public improvements, a great climate, and easy commute. And prices like they used to be on homes we once only dreamed of.
- A knowlegeable workforce. The unemployment rate in Clovis averages 6.2 percent, while elsewhere in the Central Valley, rates hover around 11 percent.
It makes for a community we like to call home. With a Community and Economic Development department staff that puts its money where its mouth is, and gives its all to help make business work here, Clovis is becoming California's new economic frontier.
