\u201cThanks go out to our City Council for their leadership and support,\u201d said Palmdale City Manager J.J. Murphy who accepted the award on behalf of the City. \u201cOver the past two years, Council and staff have worked diligently to transform Palmdale into a truly business friendly City. I introduced and Council supported a campaign based around a business-friendly concept called, \u2018Find a Way to Yes,\u2019 and the results have been tremendous. The word is out: do business in the City of Palmdale and we will find a way to \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was truly an honor to stand on that stage with City staff and partners to receive this prestigious award,\u201d said Palmdale Councilmember Austin Bishop, District 1. \u201cIt\u2019s especially gratifying when you look at the amazing cities who were up for consideration. I congratulate each one for all that they\u2019re doing to help businesses thrive in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a great night for Palmdale,\u201d said Councilmember Juan Carrillo, District 4. \u201cLike all cities, Palmdale has had to deal with a lot of impediments due to the challenges of COVID-19, but our staff was creative and resourceful and truly found ways to bring in new projects to the community, support projects that were in the middle of construction when the pandemic hit, and most importantly support our local businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also very proud of our strong partnership with the County of Los Angeles,\u201d said Councilmember Richard Loa, District 2. \u201cA special thank you to Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who joined us on stage, and her staff for their continued support to help establish the EIFD and on other unique projects that we hope to announce at the beginning of next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy also thanked the various business partners and the collaborative efforts with the City of Lancaster. \u201cMany of the ideas that were developed during the pandemic were in collaboration with the elected officials and teams of both the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster.\u201d<\/p>\n
