Otay Mesa Chamber of Commerce
|
Otay Mesa established in 1985 is located in the southeast corner of the city of San Diego. The area is a mix of residential and industrial development. Otay’s proximity to the international border with Mexico makes it a thriving and rapidly growing business area. The area has gone from land covered with brush and jack rabbits with less than a 1,000 residents in 1957 to the largest commercial crossing on the California-Mexico border. The Otay Mesa Port of Entry handles the second highest volume of trucks and the third highest dollar value in trade among all U.S.-Mexico land border crossings. More than 1.4 million trucks use the Port of Entry each year, carrying over $19.2 billion in products.
More than 2,000 loaded trucks and 1,000 empty trucks use this busy area. There are two major freeways under development to serve the bustling port state Route 125, scheduled for completion in 2007, and State Route-905, set to open in early 2006. State Route 11, which will link to a third border crossing point, is in the planning stages and is fast-tracked for completion in seven years. Otay Mesa has 11,000 homes under development and houses more than 1,200 companies with 17,000 employees.
The area has the first dedicated commuter lane, easy access to Brown Field and the Tijuana International Airport and large parcels of value-priced land. The city of San Diego and state of California also provide a number of development incentives to companies that locate in this area. The State Enterprise Zone and the Foreign Trade Zone offer tax and importing advantages to businesses that want to conduct international trade.
Otay Mesa benefits from the Twin Plant System, which allows firms to operate manufacturing plants on both sides of the border. This program allows companies to place labor-intensive manufacturing processes in Tijuana and capital-intensive or research operations in Otay Mesa. Companies participating in this program include Honeywell, Howard Leight, Casio, Matsushita/Panasonic and Sanyo.
