City of Antioch

The Economic Development Department is responsible for the City’s efforts to attract, retain, expand, and assist businesses in Antioch, generating wealth through which community benefits are realized.
Our Department is guided by the Economic Development Strategic Plan (2022) and the Economic Development Element of the General Plan (2003).
Activities and programming include:

• Promoting a positive business environment
• Expansion of the local tax base
• Creating opportunities for new jobs, local investment, employment centers, and reduced commutes

We use an “ecosystem building” approach. This allows flexibility and fiscal responsibility. Our end goal is a business community known for its complexity and diversity. We support a wide range of initiatives and investments, rather than picking only certain types.
