Occupying just over 2.2 square miles within the larger City of Long Beach, Signal Hill is recognized as a safe, clean, and welcoming community, whose small-town charm continues to attract new residents and businesses. Incorporated in 1924, today Signal Hill boasts a blend of award-winning schools, attractive housing across diverse income levels, a robust economy, and a scenic network of parks and trails that draw in visitors from all around the region. With a population of 11,749 residents, the community embraces its diversity, entrepreneurial spirit, and progressive vision for the future. Strategically positioned near I-405 and I-605, Signal Hill is a 30-minute drive from downtown Los Angeles and just 3 miles from the beach. Although oil production dominated its economy until the 1970s, changes in the oil market led the City to shift its focus towards economic development and diversification of its sales tax base. Signal Hill’s prime location is now home to major retailers such as Home Depot, Costco, and Target, along with a thriving auto center anchored by luxury dealerships including BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Tesla. The City of Signal Hill extends an invitation to experienced consultants to be a part of a compelling opportunity to shape the future growth and development of this growing community. The City seeks consulting services to conduct economic analysis and recommend strategies to harness the potential of the proposed Opportunity Study Areas. Diverse teams of consultants with expertise in economic development, urban planning, design, and community outreach are invited to submit proposals.
