Concord is Contra Costa County’s largest City with over 135,000 residents and still growing. With its convenient location, skilled work force, and highly competitive development costs, Concord is now home to some of the nation’s most prominent enterprises and is fast becoming one of the Bay Area’s leading commercial business centers.
Concord has a large amount of light industrial development, a large share of retail business and the most affordable office space in the East Bay Area. It is served by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit System), Buchanan Field airport and a network of freeways, making it attractive to businesses and commuters alike. Guiding overall development, the City’s Redevelopment Agency and Planning Commission work within a General Plan designed to create new jobs, adequate housing and a strong economic base for Concord’s continued growth and prosperity. As a result of these activities, Concord has established itself as a city where residents can find a positive, relaxed suburban setting in which to live, work and do business. |

Concord entered a period of rapid progress in 1953 carrying out its plans for municipal development more effectively. The 1970’s is known as Concord’s maturing period. Retail shops, service centers, light industrial plants, office/commercial centers, hotels and cultural facilities have grown so rapidly that the City changed drastically in the decade of the seventies.
Culturally, Concord has certainly come of age. The Pavilion at Concord is nationally recognized as the performing arts facility on the West Coast. By virtually any measurement, the outdoor facility with 8,500 seats has been a success.
Above all, Concord in growing from a small town to a City has remained a wonderful place to live. A wide variety of recreational and cultural programs are available.
