Riverside Hears from Ontario Airport Manager; Works to Increase Support for ONT
 On August 27, 2013 the Riverside City Council received a briefing from Ontario International Airport (ONT) Manager Jess Romo. The presentation by Romo opened the door for a candid discussion about Ontario airport operations, challenges and opportunities, as well as the ensuing 'battle' between LAX and ONT. According to Romo, the biggest challenge for ONT is that commercial carriers look at a region's average household income as one of the key factors when determining to add more services to one area over another. While Riverside and San-Bernardino counties have a large population base, other peer airports such as Santa Ana (SNA) have more households that fall into the leisure (average household income greater than $75K/year) and business (average household income over $150K/year) traveler categories. Riverside City Councilmember Gardner questioned this statistic, explaining that fringe areas that include West Covina and Claremont should also be accounted for as the ONT service territory doesn't just stop at the county lines. It is for this reason that a Riverside contingent, organized by the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce and included the Riverside Convention & Visitors Bureau, met with Southwest Airlines officials earlier in August.

2013 Riverside-San Bernardino Economic Forecast Set for October 29th
For the fourth year in a row, the UC Riverside School of Business Administration, the only research-based business school in Inland Southern California, is partnering with Beacon Economics to prepare and present the 2013 Riverside-San Bernardino Economic Forecast Conference. The event is scheduled for October 29, 2013 in Downtown Riverside.
According to Beacon Economics, these forecast conferences are held in response to a demand for independent, objective analysis about California's major regional economies. The candid, thought-provoking event will go beyond the state and national picture and hone in on the economies and demographics of the Riverside/San Bernardino area, delivering the disaggregated, region-specific information needed by businesses, public agencies and nonprofit organizations.
