Due to the clear vision and direction of the Mayor and City Council Ontario features an exceptional pro-business environment, competitive commercial lease rates, technical amenities, a skilled and abundant work force, and an innovation corridor of fourteen colleges and universities. These factors are driving one of the hottest office markets in the country with vacancy rates in the single digits and 2 million square feet under development. Three mixed-use projects are underway in the City bringing 24/7 lifestyle to a growing sector of young professionals.

As a major global gateway, Ontario is home to LA-Ontario International Airport (ONT), the center of a rapidly developing freight movement system that includes the airport, two railroads, four major freeways and an expanding network of freight forwarders. ONT is one of the fastest growing and ambitious cargo airports outside the booming Asia-Pacific market and home to United Parcel Service's Western Regional Hub providing direct flights to China. In 2003, ONT was listed among six of the best cargo airports in the world by the leading international airport magazine, Airport World. The Ontario Foreign Trade Zone is also of significance to businesses involved in international trade. ONT is the second busiest air passenger facility in Southern California, handling 7.2 million people in 2005, and growing each year. ONT is projected to reach 30 million annual passengers by 2025.
