Wither The Northeast Valley

Today's Daily News has an interesting report about an analysis released by the Economic Alliance of the San Fernando Valley that shows "with strong leadership" the Northeast San Fernando Valley - blighted by every stretch of the imagination and the one part of the city most ignored by City Hall - could be an industrial powerhouse providing jobs and significant economic development to the region. With available land unlike anywhere in the city, a close location to transportation corridors and a strong supply of workers, multiple opportunities exist.

With strong city leadership, the northeast San Fernando Valley could be turned into an industrial powerhouse that would generate good-paying jobs and help revitalize the region...

The question is will the fervently pro-union and anti-business elected officials in the area recognize the opportunity?
