COVID-19 Updates for Businesses

FEDERAL UPDATES, STATE UPDATES, LOCAL UPDATES and MORE.

Dear Friends,

I want to make you aware of a collection of nine very dangerous bills working their way through the California State Legislature that individually may seem innocuous but are anything but. 
Like the mythological Hydra, a monster with many heads -- cut one head off and it regenerates two more, the same can be said of the piece-mealed package of legislation encompassing the worst parts of last year’s divisive overdevelopment/ gentrification bill, SB 50, authored by Bay Area state Senator Scott Wiener. Opposed by both the City of Los Angeles and the City of San Francisco, SB 50 was ultimately defeated in the legislature. Its passage would have dismembered single-family zoning, allowed 10-unit luxury apartments on ANY block, and apartments several stories (and higher) in single-family neighborhoods.
Virtual Meetings and Webinars
Reminders for programs you may be aware of.
The California Competes Tax Credit (CCTC) is an income tax credit available to businesses that want to locate in California or stay and grow in California. Businesses of any industry, size, or location compete for over $180 million available in tax credits by applying in one of the three application periods each year. Applicants will be analyzed based on twelve different factors of evaluation, including number of full-time jobs being created, amount of investment, and strategic importance to the state or region.
