| Mayor Parris Met with Chinese Companies |
|
Lancaster, CA. November 23, 2015 -City of Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris met with several Chinese companies and government officials in the Shanghai region of China, regarding business attraction and alternative energy.
"Lancaster's international trade missions continue to open doors, garner government cooperation and support, and develop strong business connections," said Mayor Parris. "In turn, such connections have enabled us to introduce new industries and additional jobs to our local economy."
The primary focus of the meeting was to court mid-size manufacturing firms looking to expand operations in North America and to discuss alternative energy projects. As with the recent establishment of the China-based BYD electric bus factory in Lancaster, the purpose of such projects is to benefit the local economy and increase employment opportunities throughout the Antelope Valley region, as well as propelling Lancaster toward its goal of becoming a net-zero City.
"We believe in proactively building public-private partnerships; evidenced by the City's successful partnerships with organizations such as BYD, KB Homes, and SolarCity," said Mayor Parris. "As we aggressively pursue our net-zero energy goals, we look to develop more such mutually-beneficial associations."
