A prosperous local economy is directly linked to the quality of life in the community. Community services and programs that ensure the well being of both residents and visitors are important to maintaining a prosperous economy.

The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce therefore supports:
 

1. Policies and programs that provide adequate police protection, fire suppression, search and rescue capabilities, and emergency medical personnel;

2. Maintenance of public structures and infrastructures and assistance to local businesses in the voluntary upgrade of private structures and facilities.
