Assemblymember Brown to Host Discussion on Opportunities to Improve our Local Economy

As a follow up to her Transportation Summit and Trucking Roundtable, Assemblymember Cheryl R. Brown (D-San Bernardino) will host a Logistics Town Hall on Friday, March 4, at San Bernardino Valley College. “The logistics sector, which is responsible for moving goods from one place to another, plays a vital role in our economy and represents a large portion of jobs in the Inland Empire,” stated Assemblymember Brown. “Next week, we’re going to discuss challenges and ways to capitalize on opportunities for growth and development. I’m encouraging all interested parties to join me and learn how we can use logistics to strengthen our local economy.” The event will feature a panel discussion with Dr. Christopher Gopal from the Drucker School of Management at Claremont College and research economist Dr. John Husing. Topics will include transportation, logistics, the IE corridor, the environment, economic development and job opportunities. In an effort to shine a light on the logistics industry in the 47th Assembly District, Congresswoman Norma Torres (D-Chino) and Assemblymembers Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove), Rudy Salas (D-Bakersfield), Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), Sebastian Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles), Reggie Jones Sawyer (D-South Los Angeles) and Jose Medina (D-Riverside) will join the discussion.
