The Antelope Valley is an extensive economic region encompassing some 3,000 square miles that include five (5) incorporated cities and portions of two (2) counties. This economic region is actually larger in size than Delaware and Rhode Island. The legacy of this vast valley continues as one of the leading aerospace flight test and research resources in our nation. Along with the accomplishments achieved in the aerospace field, we are the largest producers of a number of crops in Los Angeles County. The unincorporated city of Boron, located just east of Mojave, is home to the largest borax mine in all of California, which just so happens to be the only state where borax is extracted domestically. In addition to our plentiful inventory of available land, the ever-expanding, diversified industrial base of this region offers hundreds of thousands of square feet of brand new state of-the-art facilities.
