00:00:01:14 - 00:00:06:10
The company has been successful,
and a very big part of its success
00:00:06:10 - 00:00:09:15
is because of our proximity to the Pacific
Ocean.
00:00:10:01 - 00:00:12:18
The ideal climate here in Ventura County,
00:00:12:18 - 00:00:15:23
and just the ease
in which we're able to do business here.
00:00:16:09 - 00:00:19:13
Everything that makes California
great is found here in Ventura County,
00:00:19:20 - 00:00:21:06
whether it's our beaches
00:00:21:06 - 00:00:25:07
or mountains or open space
or trails, we've got waterfalls,
00:00:25:07 - 00:00:27:00
just about everything
that we could ever want.
00:00:27:00 - 00:00:30:19
Ventura County has a wonderful economy,
enormously diverse,
00:00:30:19 - 00:00:34:11
everything from biotech,
health, tech, agriculture.
00:00:34:12 - 00:00:35:16
We have construction.
00:00:35:16 - 00:00:39:22
We have the naval base, health services,
professional, technical,
00:00:40:05 - 00:00:44:04
scientific, manufacturing,
leisure and hospitality.
00:00:44:04 - 00:00:46:12
We have everything in Ventura County.
00:00:46:12 - 00:00:49:18
One of our great
economic engines is the port of one Amy.
00:00:49:22 - 00:00:54:00
It's the only deep water port
between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
00:00:54:02 - 00:00:57:14
Huge imports and exports
there, particularly automobiles
00:00:57:14 - 00:01:01:06
and fresh
fruits, is a driver for our economy
00:01:01:13 - 00:01:04:12
and for the trade
and commerce of the region.
00:01:04:12 - 00:01:06:12
Fallon works
as an innovation and prototyping lab.
00:01:06:12 - 00:01:09:23
We're partnered with Matter Labs,
Economic Development Collaborative,
00:01:10:01 - 00:01:13:16
Nancy, Nasdaq, the Port of Wine Navy,
as well as Navy Air.
00:01:13:21 - 00:01:16:10
Our experience
working at the county has been amazing
00:01:16:10 - 00:01:19:12
with all the different agencies getting
involved, us and fully supporting us.
00:01:19:14 - 00:01:23:00
We have two amazing Navy bases
locally that are generating
00:01:23:00 - 00:01:27:12
all kinds of innovation
in the areas of aerospace and aviation,
00:01:27:16 - 00:01:31:12
including collision avoidance technology,
unmanned systems
00:01:31:12 - 00:01:34:20
both in the air, on the water
and below the water.
00:01:34:20 - 00:01:37:20
And all of this together
is incredible synergy
00:01:37:23 - 00:01:40:07
that's going to drive
the technologies of the future.
00:01:40:07 - 00:01:44:05
I think Ventura County does have the kind
of culture that does foster innovation.
00:01:44:12 - 00:01:48:02
If you look at the pockets
around the world where innovative people
00:01:48:04 - 00:01:51:19
cluster or structures
to sort of be together,
00:01:52:04 - 00:01:55:08
you typically find that they do it
in places they enjoy living.
00:01:57:00 - 00:01:57:12
Quality of
00:01:57:12 - 00:02:00:16
life in Ventura County is really,
really important.
00:02:00:16 - 00:02:03:16
It's important
to every single person that lives here.
00:02:05:03 - 00:02:08:19
Rotorcraft support is a full service
helicopter maintenance facility.
00:02:08:22 - 00:02:12:07
In 2020,
we moved our facility into Ventura County.
00:02:12:12 - 00:02:13:19
We've been able to expand.
00:02:13:19 - 00:02:17:23
We've been able to add new equipment,
innovations that we weren't able
00:02:17:23 - 00:02:19:19
to do in our previous location.
00:02:19:19 - 00:02:23:10
And also, in order for our employees
to have a better quality of life
00:02:23:15 - 00:02:28:03
and finding the right employees
from Ventura County,
00:02:28:06 - 00:02:32:09
the county government,
can can places a priority job creation.
00:02:32:09 - 00:02:35:14
We're focusing on trying to find ways
to streamline permitting.
00:02:35:16 - 00:02:39:13
We want to also be the strongest
proponents for our community.
00:02:40:00 - 00:02:40:22
One of the great things
00:02:40:22 - 00:02:45:00
about doing business in Ventura County
is that we offer a valuable resources
00:02:45:06 - 00:02:49:15
to enable women owned businesses to drive
through business for Ventura County.
00:02:50:00 - 00:02:54:00
We've made it so much easier
through our partnership with the EDC
00:02:54:07 - 00:02:57:01
and the We've Women economic ventures
00:02:57:01 - 00:03:01:01
and other economic organizations
throughout Ventura County.
00:03:01:13 - 00:03:04:12
We have great schools, high
performing public schools.
00:03:04:12 - 00:03:07:08
We have renowned institutions
of higher learning.
00:03:07:08 - 00:03:10:18
We are a safe community,
and we prioritize safety
00:03:10:18 - 00:03:13:22
not only in our homes, at workplace,
but in our schools.
00:03:14:08 - 00:03:18:16
And so all of these things are drivers
that attract the next generation
00:03:19:04 - 00:03:22:09
of industries,
particularly in tech and innovation.
00:03:22:20 - 00:03:28:00
And we are prepared to be the next place
for that group of jobs to expand.
00:03:28:09 - 00:03:31:06
This is really one of the most
beautiful places on the planet.
00:03:31:06 - 00:03:33:18
So had the opportunity
to operate our business here,
00:03:33:18 - 00:03:36:18
which we've now done
successfully for over 130 years.
00:03:36:22 - 00:03:38:20
It's, it's really an ideal situation.
00:03:38:20 - 00:03:41:20
And if I had a chance to talk
to any CEO in the world, I'd tell them
00:03:41:20 - 00:03:44:10
this is the best place
to run your company.
00:03:44:10 - 00:03:46:16
It's really
the perfect place to to live and work.
