Desmond's speech started on a positive note, highlighting the growth and revitalization happening throughout the North County, but then stressed there are critical issues that must be addressedCounty Supervisor Jim Desmond Tuesday challenged those attending his State of North County speech to"be part of the solution" to serious problems such as homelessness and improve the quality of life in the region.
Desmond pointed out success stories such as the new Frontwave Arena in Oceanside; an 11% increase in craft breweries; and agriculture, which represents $3 billion in economic impact and 16,000 jobs for San Diego County.
