Membership Requirements

The economic outlook for Orange County has never been brighter, and now the region’s development community has joined the Orange County Partnership to get that message out. The Alliance for Balanced Growth is a cooperative effort between area developers, landowners, commercial real estate professionals, engineers, land-use attorneys, construction services and the Orange County Partnership. Their mission is straightforward – to present a strong, unified voice for responsible development in Orange County.

The goal of the Alliance for Balanced Growth (ABG) has been to educate the public on the business and land-use planning advantages of commercial development and to learn cooperatively about issues they face. While our existing business parks offer ongoing economic development opportunities, the Alliance is designed to meet new challenges and to remain an effective, unified voice for commercial development in the County.

Although we compete on a day-to-day basis we are united in our vision. Developing Orange County’s commercial potential and managing that growth responsibly is the only way to keep Orange County healthy and strong.
