Victorville—Recent population and business growth in the High Desert has contributed to an impressive level of interest in this year’s High Desert Opportunity. The October 20th event promises to be one of the best attended in the organization’s 24 year history.

The annual event aims to draw out of the area business owners, managers and site locators to the high desert region. Local cities, chambers of commerce, the County of San Bernardino, organizations and businesses come together at this conference to showcase the desirable business climate in the High Desert.
