LAS VEGAS—Some 30,000 new jobs have come to San Bernardino County, reports Mary Jane Olhasso, assistant executive officer, finance and administration, in this exclusive video interview recorded during RECon 2015. And of course, with jobs comes retail, and she states that this is exactly what is taking place in the county. Major national brands are coming in as well as new-concept restaurants, a good thing, she says: “We've all been eating at home for too long.” The County is a GlobeSt.com Thought Leader.

In the video, you'll also hear:

  • Incentives the county has to spur further growth;
  • The development/redevelopment drive; and
  • How sometimes, suburbs can grow as dynamically as the CBDs.
