Business Opportunities
Welcome to our City. Unique opportunities are available for regional retail, commercial, travel and tourist destination development to be located in the largest and fastest growing City in South Monterey County. Opportunities include Yanks Air Museum at the northern entrance to Greenfield (tourism), the Walnut Avenue Regional Retail Center at the city's mid-point (regional retail), and Pinnacles Plaza at the southern entrance to Greenfield (traveler services).
Each development center will have its own unique focus and development orientation, all while serving regional needs, populations, tourists and travelers along the heavily traveled U.S. Highway 101. These centers, each at a major entrance to Greenfield, will be complementary, not competitive. Together, these centers provide economic and development opportunities you will find nowhere else along the Central Coast of California.

The City of Greenfield is located in the heart of California's Salinas Valley in southern Monterey County, nestled between the Gabilan mountain range to the east and the Santa Lucia range to the west. The mountains provide visual relief from spreading urban development and agricultural uses on the valley floor. Salinas, the county seat, is located 35 miles to the north. Soledad and Gonzales are located 8 and 17 miles north, respectively. King City is located 11 miles to the south. Greenfield has a current growing population of 17,300 residents, with an incorporated area of 1.7 square miles.
Greenfield is centered in one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. Known as the "Salad Bowl of the World," 80% of the lettuce grown in the United States is from the Salinas Valley and over $2 billion worth of fruits and vegetables are shipped annually across the United States and abroad. The area around Greenfield is also the heart of Monterey County's premier wine grape growing region due to favorable soils and climate with over twenty vineyards and wineries within a thirty mile radius. Vineyards, wineries, and wine tasting rooms continue to expand throughout the region.
Greenfield is the most populous city in the southern Salinas Valley, and prior to the 2008 recession was the fastest growing city in Monterey County and the fourth fastest growing city in California. Greenfield has small town charm and a sense of community, affordable prices for land and housing, a growing population of professional and skilled workers, and a variety of nearby outdoor recreational opportunities.
The development of Pinnacles Plaza at the south entrance to Greenfield presents an opportunity that exists nowhere else in Monterey County - the combination of highway commercial and industrial uses that serve a diverse economic and traveling public sector. It will include a major travel and fueling center for thousands of daily travelers and truckers along U.S. Highway 101 and will include lodging, restaurants, and highway traveler retail facilities. This will be the premier, and only, comprehensive travel center along the Central Coast, from the San Francisco Bay area to southern California.
