Scott Agajanian, City of Murrieta Economic Development Director
Scott Agajanian is the Director Economic Development for the City of Murrieta, California. This protracted municipal title simply means that his role is to grow the economic base of the city through the attraction, retention, and expansion of business in the city. This is done through a variety of programs and activities that include outreach to developers, brokers, and businesses, the marketing, networking and brand promotion of the city, partnership on workforce initiatives, and seeding of innovators and cultivation of a startup ecosystem.
Scott has considerable experience working in the Murrieta Valley for the past twenty years and this includes 7 years in the Economic Development Department with the City of Murrieta. He says, “My passion has always been growth of the business community and keeping our dollars local. It is my belief that a foundation of small businesses that are supporting each other, along with a healthy startup ecosystem will help further the growth of not only small business, but all business.” While working for the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce in Business Development for nearly four years Scott was instrumental in furthering the success of businesses within the city.
As the City of Murrieta is in an economic growth phase, it is complementing this period of expansion with a pro-business culture and an expanded marketing plan, featuring the city branding campaign, “Connected by Community.” Scott is actively involved in this campaign and believes that awareness of our city, our business and development friendly environment and our wonderful demographics will produce even greater opportunities for Murrieta.
