| | Doing Business in San Leandro Companies considering San Leandro as a home will be pleased when they see how easy we've made it to relocate to our city. With our award winning, one-stop service center for permits and licenses, cutting back red tape is San Leandro's number one concern when helping companies make a smooth transition to our city. We've become extremely adept at getting businesses here and making sure they succeed, flourish, and stay.
The City's Business Development mission is to improve San Leandro’s quality of life by encouraging reinvestment and economic growth through retention and expansion of existing businesses and attraction of new industry, which will enhance the local tax base, enabling an increase in the standard of living for all San Leandro. The City of San Leandro is committed to supporting business development efforts and, as a result, San Leandro has gained a reputation as a business-friendly community. The Business Development team stands ready to assist you, whether it's identifying potential locations for your facility through community site visits or providing specific information to help you in the decision-making process. Our staff provide a direct link to regional and state programs, including Industrial Development Bonds and employee recruitment and training programs. In addition, Business Development staff can assist in assembling background information for your development project applications. Business Development staff administer Redevelopment Agency programs and act as the City's liaison to the business community. For more information on the Office of Business Development, call Cynthia Battenberg at (510) 577-3352.
