Compton has approved a partnership with The Natelson Dale Group to create a new Economic Development Strategic Plan aimed at strengthening the business climate, revitalizing key corridors, expanding opportunities for small and minority-owned businesses, improving permitting, increasing access to grants, and supporting startups. The plan positions Compton for job growth, investment, and long-term economic revitalization.

Compton is emerging as a hotbed for industrial real estate in early 2025, with over $369M invested in warehouse acquisitions by Rexford and CenterPoint. Proximity to major ports fuels this surge, while retail and educational developments add community value. However, concerns persist over spending priorities—like $25M for 25 electric school buses—and potential regulatory burdens from LA County’s Green Zones affecting nearby industrial projects.
