Mayor Acquanetta Warren to Provide Trade Council on the Intergovernmental Policy Advisory Committee
As per her State of the City 2018 Address, Warren is making a major push to take Fontana nationally as a manufacturing hub. Not only is the Inland Empire the crossroads for the movement of goods from the Port of Los Angeles to the rest of the country, but Fontana is the epicenter for logistics. Warren will bring her local government knowledge and experience with trade to the Committee. “I understand the importance of international trade and how it affects our area. We, in Fontana, are focused on attracting international trade to not only our City, but to the region as a whole,” states Mayor Warren.
The IGPAC was established by the U.S. Congress in 1974. The Committee advises, consults, makes policy recommendations and provides information to the U.S. Trade Representative and relevant Cabinet members. Committee members serve a four-year term, with the new term beginning April 2018.
