Manufacturing is essential to our economy, not just for the jobs and revenue it creates, but also as a main source of innovation and global competitiveness. The Bay Area benefits from a strong manufacturing foundation. Our expansive Waterfront, from Antioch to Hercules, continues to play a key role in sustaining manufacturing and keeping the Bay Area economy vibrant.
