Councilmember Padilla presented a recognition on Oct. 31 to Ace Building Materials for decades of service in the community and for supporting local recovery efforts following the Northridge earthquake.
Padilla said the business provided essential construction supplies and employment across generations and praised family ownership continuity. A company representative, identified in the transcript as Jessica, accepted the recognition and described the business as a family-run operation serving the district for decades: “Somos un negocio de familia… Estamos muy agradecidas por estar aquí.”
Council members and attendees highlighted the company’s role during the 1994 earthquake recovery and its ongoing commitment to hiring and training locally. Padilla encouraged continued community investment and noted prior coordination between the company and council staff for local outreach and resource events.
