The city of Artesia may be one of the best places in Los Angeles County to run a business, according to a local economic development commission.
The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), whose mission is to "...attract, retain and grow businesses and jobs for the regions of Los Angeles County" holds an annual awards ceremony recognizing some of the best places to do business, according to their website.
