Azusa : Industry, Business Wanted

Azusa has begun its first economic development program to attract industries and businesses to the city. A $25,000 contract with Braun & Co., a Los Angeles public relations firm, calls for a media campaign to promote Azusa to developers. The promotional campaign, aimed for nationwide distribution, will advertise Azusa’s access to freeways and railroad lines, city-owned utilities and a labor pool. A spokesman said city officials have planned an economic development package for several months.
