As indicated, the City Manager's Office oversees the City's Economic Development activities. An Economic Development Committee, which consists of two City Councilmembers, City staff and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, was established in 1993 to focus on business retention and attracting new businesses to Camarillo. The Committee also focuses on redevelopment improvements in Old Town, and other parts of the City. With a budget specifically targeted at the marketing needs identified by the Committee, Camarillo Economic Development seeks out prospective businesses, and assists new and current business operators through the development process.
