Location

Logistically speaking, there is no better business community than Ventura.

Ventura is located in western Ventura County, just 60 miles north of Los Angeles. This close proximity makes it perfect for companies that need easy access to a large city and the Los Angeles World Airports.

Ventura’s major freeways provide a direct link with the region’s workforce. US-101, which runs through Ventura, provides a direct link to Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. SR-126 also provides access from the Santa Clarita and Heritage Valley communities of Valencia, Fillmore and Santa Paula.

The Port of Hueneme, the only deep-water port between Los Angeles and San Francisco, is minutes away, making Ventura a great location for business involved in domestic and international trade. Because of its status as a Port of Entry and Foreign Trade Zone, more than 1,149.5 thousand tons of cargo (valued over $4 billion) was serviced during FY 2002-03.
