For example, municipally owned Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) provides businesses with the best natural gas and electric rates; 60-70% lower than SoCal Gas and Southern California Edison. Vernon is the only city in California with its own gas, electric, water and fiber optics utilities, in addition to its own Health Department. Additionally, Vernon is one of the safest cities in the Southeast Los Angeles region, with a 3-minute emergency response time from the Vernon Police Department.

In-house services ensure an expedient time-to-market turnaround for businesses of various types. Building and health permitting are handled by accessible experts who will provide consultation and guidance at every turn.
