City of La Quinta: Gem of the Desert

Economic Development

La Quinta has long been recognized for its world-class golf, thriving arts community, unparalleled quality of life, and strong consumer base – all contributing to La Quinta’s bright economic outlook. The Economic Development Division takes a proactive approach by conducting periodic market studies, annually updating its Economic Development Plan, and managing a comprehensive marketing program. This approach has yielded tremendous success – many national retailers have located in La Quinta alongside thriving small businesses.

La Quinta has it all – a growing population; a large winter/spring seasonal population; retail synergy along its Highway 111 corridor; charming boutique shops and restaurants in its Village area; tourism; a variety of recreational opportunities; cultural activities; and plenty of open space and natural beauty.
