City of Pittsburg
Home MenuEconomic Development
Pittsburg is home to over 74,000 residents, including nearly 35,000 employed residents. By the year 2040, the City’s population is projected to grow to over 100,000, and the number of employed residents is expected to grow to nearly 40,000. Though large employers are often celebrated, Pittsburg’s economic base consists primarily of firms with less than 100 employees, as opposed to large corporate users.
The City seeks to support its existing businesses, while also attracting innovative and creative industries that will lead Pittsburg into the future and strengthen its position within the region and state for attracting jobs. The City recognizes that long-term, sustainable economic development requires a holistic approach that goes beyond employment numbers, but also provides a safe and attractive community, with a variety of housing options, reliable and effective infrastructure, and recreational amenities, among other things. Paramount in this effort is collaboration among City staff, business owners and operators, employees, regional groups, Contra Costa County, the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, and other groups that seek to enhance local business opportunities.
In January 2022, the City Council adopted the City's updated Economic Development Strategic Plan, which will guide economic development activities within the City for the next 10 years.
