Lovingood. County officials have expressed not only the desire, but the plan to bring job growth to San Bernardino County. “San Bernardino County wants to distinguish itself as a County that promotes economic growth for both residents and businesses,” stated Supervisor James Ramos, whose district includes Redlands. “Amazon.com will bring jobs to help fill the workforce needs of the County’s Third District.
