INLAND EMPIRE – (INT) - The planners and researchers at the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) project significant population and job growth for San Bernardino County.

By comparison, the rest of the six-county region will see average population and employment growth of 14% during that period.

Government leaders predict the Inland Empire has emerged as one of the most sought-after economic and employment centers in California.
