Torrance and Carson lost out Wednesday night to Alhambra in the running to be named the county's "Most Business Friendly Cities."
Alhambra got the nod during Wednesday night's 15th annual Eddy Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
The county Economic Development Corp.'s awards program was attended by about 600 business, government and education leaders.
Alhambra received the award for cities with more than 60,000 residents. The city "offers a favorable combination of housing, business, employment and recreational opportunities," according to a statement from the award committee.
Besides Torrance and Carson, the other nominees in the category were Downey, West Covina and Whittier.
Cerritos topped Azusa, Commerce, Duarte, La Mirada and Monrovia in the category for cities under 60,000 residents.
The EDC created the "business-friendly" award in 2006 to recognize cities that are proactively promoting business-friendly programs and services.
Also recognized during the awards was Do Won Chang, chief executive officer and founder of the clothing stores, Forever 21, and Kaiser Permanente, which is the largest private employer in the county with 36,000 workers.
