While Glendale continues to rebound from years of distress and economic decline, questions continue when it comes to the city’s fiscal support of local businesses.
The city has begun touting it is “becoming more data-driven in all aspects of city government,” as well as building a “Glendale First” approach, but the numbers conflict those claims.
Glendale Chamber of Commerce President Robert Heidt, who has been fighting for more acceptance for local businesses since taking over as Chamber president nearly three years ago, said the lack of support for local businesses has shocked him.
