The Rosemead community uniquely includes established and new cultures; large, mid-size and small businesses; primary, secondary, university and adult educational organizations; and, very importantly, several impacting nonprofit enterprises serving the needy as well as disadvantaged. At it nexus, the Rosemead Chamber provides market data and facilitates development, location identification, regulatory permitting and financing consulting.
