City-Owned Opportunity Sites

Strategic Location

Strategically positioned for logistics and distribution, the fast-growing City of Hesperia is conveniently situated within easy access to the logistics network that serves the combined ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (LA/LGB), the nation’s largest international cargo trade area. Hesperia is sited on Interstate Highway 15, and Highway 395, a major corridor linking Southern California with Northern California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington to the Canadian border. The City's rail development will make Hesperia one of the few viable locations in Southern California able to provide new rail accessibility.

Located at the summit of the Cajon Pass and within the nexus of Interstate 15 and Highway 395, Hesperia offers seventeen miles of prime freeway frontage and is a stepping-stone for goods destined for northern California, Las Vegas, and south to the greater Inland Empire and Los Angeles markets.

U.S. Highway 395 provides access for freight and vacationers headed to destinations such as Bishop and Mammoth and further north. Logistics and manufacturing companies will benefit from a central location to the ports in Los Angeles and airports in Ontario and at Southern California Logistics Airport. Burlington Northern Santa Fe serves the high desert. 

Some of the most important distribution centers in the world are regional facilities in inland Southern California markets; many, like Hesperia, in San Bernardino County. Hesperia is the home to Fortune 500 companies that have recognized the City as a prime place to relocate or expand.

Hesperia Industrial Rail Track

Having secured $2 million in federal grant funding from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Agency, the City has constructed the G Avenue Industrial Rail Lead Track Project, consisting of approximately one mile of new railroad lead track and a parallel runaround track, which was completed in 2012. In addition, the project fosters entrepreneurship by making rail accessible throughout the region to smaller businesses without rail access to ship and receive goods with the use of a team trans-load facility.

BNSF Railroad bisects Hesperia along the rail line on which Hesperia was founded. The City's rail development makes Hesperia one of the few viable locations in Southern California able to provide rail accessibility.
