Think of Murrieta First as the sounding board to assist all of us with our local informational needs and researching the options available to our community.
Murrieta First also welcomes all those exploring this site to come to our fair city to see first hand the opportunities that await you; a wonderful Southern California location with a variety of housing choices, a top notch school district and library, ample land for business development, premier golf courses, The Santa Rosa Ecological Preserve, and nearby hillside wineries-centrally located from the Cities of San Diego, Palm Springs, John Wayne airport in Orange County, and Ontario. Additionally, French Valley airport on the eastern border with Murrieta provides service to private aircraft.

To name a few of the resource advantages for the Southwest County of Riverside:
Diamond Valley Lake: http://www.oldtemecula.com/lakes/reservoir.html A massive water reservoir located along the interstate 215 development corridor; untold energy project plans that include solar, renewables, and natural gas on commercial scales
(water and power-the building blocks for a diversified economic mix); all complimented by the relatively higher education and average per capita income of our local residents.
According to Dave Stewart, Dean of The Graduate School of Management at UC Riverside: "Southwest County offers relatively cheap land, some of it in a designated foreign trade zone. For a manufacturing company, locating in a foreign trade zone offers additional financial advantages -- goods assembled in that area from materials and components shipped in from overseas receive breaks in fees, tariffs and taxes."
