Economic Development

The City of Fort Bragg serves as the primary commercial center for Mendocino County’s coastal communities. Historically, the local economy has been linked to lumber and fishing industries, and in recent decades has transitioned to rely heavily on tourism. Today, City Council is committed to developing a diverse and sustainable economy, supporting investment downtown, and facilitating relationships between businesses, and between business owners and lenders.
