For too long, major development projects have gone to companies with no stake in our neighborhoods and no commitment to long-term community prosperity.
Amy Malone’s plan reverses that trend by opening opportunities for all—including both local and outside developers, contractors, and workers—ensuring economic growth flows directly back into San Bernardino families.
Collaboration is the key. San Bernardino is open for business.
San Bernardino’s economic challenges are not just about numbers—they are about quality of life. Residents deserve careers, not just jobs, and economic leadership that supports local success instead of political insiders.

Core priorities to build a thriving local economy
Prioritize local developers and contractors in city construction, housing, and infrastructure projects.
Make downtown a thriving center of commerce, culture, dining, and small business.
Recruit industries that offer living wages, benefits, and career pathways.
Create a comprehensive strategy to help entrepreneurs thrive.
Improve roads, lighting, sidewalks, and parks to support economic growth.
Launch citywide initiative to increase revenue for local shops and entrepreneurs.
San Bernardino’s downtown has incredible potential. With historic architecture, strategic location, and growing community interest, downtown can once again be the heart of our city.
Amy’s vision transforms downtown into a destination—a place where residents gather, businesses thrive, and visitors want to spend time.
When downtown thrives, the entire city benefits. A vibrant downtown attracts investment, creates jobs, and gives residents a reason to stay and build their futures here.
San Bernardino’s economy should not be a private club. It must serve the public and welcome local and outside developers through fair, transparent processes.
Amy Malone will bring transparency and fairness to economic decision-making with these accountability measures:
Review development proposals and ensure fair, unbiased evaluation of all contracts and incentives.
Establish transparent standards for awarding city contracts, published and accessible to all.
Require disclosure of relationships between developers, contractors, and city officials.
Show who receives contracts, why they were selected, and community benefits associated with each project.
Require large developments to provide measurable benefits to San Bernardino residents.
Give residents meaningful voice in major development decisions affecting their neighborhoods.
Prioritizing local businesses and contractors isn’t just good policy—it’s smart economics that creates lasting prosperity for San Bernardino families.
Money earned by local businesses circulates in our community, supporting other local businesses
Local contractors hire local workers, keeping unemployment low and opportunity high
Local business owners live here, care about our city, and reinvest in our neighborhoods
Every dollar spent locally generates additional economic activity throughout San Bernardino
Local businesses provide training and career pathways for San Bernardino residents
Successful local businesses create assets that families can build on for generations
San Bernardino deserves an economy that works for everyone—not just political insiders. Join Amy in building prosperity that lasts.
