CPRA Raises Concerns About Hesperia’s Business Climate

The California Property Rights Association (CPRA) is sounding the alarm on an increasingly difficult environment for small businesses in Hesperia, CA.

From bad roads and deteriorating infrastructure to rising costs and taxes, the city is falling short of supporting local economic growth. CPRA also notes that the City’s policies are hurting small businesses. There is a lack of progress in addressing homelessness, and there is growing frustration over budget shortfalls, wasteful spending, and limited accountability.

CPRA highlighted several areas of concern:

• Infrastructure Investment: Local roads and public infrastructure remain a top priority for business owners and residents. Hesperia must increase transparency and action on long-delayed improvements.

• Economic Development: There is a lack of clear incentives or initiatives in Hesperia aimed at attracting new businesses and supporting existing ones.

• Regulatory Environment: Policies are burdening small businesses and discouraging entrepreneurship.

• Property Rights: Landowners should be protected from overreach and given clear, fair guidelines for the use of their property.

  
  

“At a time when cities should be competing to welcome investment, Hesperia risks pushing it away,” a CPRA spokesperson said. “We need leadership that prioritizes safe communities, strong infrastructure, and respect for property rights.”

CPRA is calling for a renewed focus on pro-growth policies, improved infrastructure, and a fair, predictable environment for small businesses and property owners.
