A growing a thriving community termed by locals and visitors as “safe, serene and secure”, Arroyo Grande offers small town living with city-like advantages. Locals have a strong commitment to preserving the history of the area in the village, and many small business owners make their living in this quaint and attractive area.

Revitalization of the East Grand Avenue corridor is a major component of economic development efforts, and shopping areas framing the City’s connection to Highway 101, have proven to be significant contributors to the local economy.

The City of Arroyo Grande and the Arroyo Grande Chamber of Commerce have established a Small Business Strike Team. The SBST has been designed to assist those interested in starting a new business. The SBST will work directly with you to provide access to resources including financial assistance, location identification and procurement, as well as technical advice. The Arroyo Grande Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to helping local companies grow their business by taking the lead in programs and efforts that help create a strong local economy and make the community a great place to do business.
