The Inland Empire Economic Council (IEEC) has submitted a request for
initial funding in the amount of $22,500 for the Aerospace Transition
Program. The function of the program is to provide the declining
aerospace industry with financial assistance necessary to establish a
skills inventory, identify emerging technologies, facilitate
coordination of local resources, develop business plans, provide
training, and regional business information. Funding is anticipated
from the following sources:
City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency
Private Sector
State of California Employment Development Dept.
U.S. Department of Commerce
U.S. Department of Labor

EDA Staff and the IEEC are in the process of establishing the Aerospace
Transition Task Force (ATTF) which will be co-chaired by Mayor Holcomb
and the IEEC. The Task Force will consist of representatives of
SANBAG, AQMD, Congressman George Brown's Office, IEEC, Caltrans, County
of San Bernardino Economic Development and COllllllunity Development
Department, Inland Action Group, San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce,
TRW, other affected aerospace industries and utility companies.
The City of San Bernardino Economic Development Agency assistance will
initiate and facilitate the program's immediate need to provide
assistance to the TRW Ballistic Missile Division. Program management
will be a partnership between the EDA and the IEEC. Day-to-day
operations, however, will be conducted by the IEEC.
One of the anticipated benefits of this program will be to save over
six-hundred (600) jobs that are currently in jeopardy within the City
of San Bernardino. The program parameters will also establish a
foundation for hundreds of new jobs in the environmental and
biotechnology engineering fields. The development of the framework of
the program will creste a model that may be utilized and transferred to
other declining industries within the region to maintain a critical
mass of engineering talent that once dispersed may never be reassembled,
The IEEC, through its Inland Empire Small Business Development Center
(IESBDC), has identified specific needs such as project management,
staff, travel and marketing expenses required to develop an integrated
