For openers:
The state, county and city continue to make adjustments to the order that went into effect Sunday, Dec. 6. Below, you will find their latest actions as well as our reactions – our advocacy efforts on behalf of our downtown businesses.
In one message early this week, the county reminded us why the orders are necessary. Though business is drastically impacted, we have to remember what this is all about:
“The Health Officers explained that, when transmission is accelerating, acting quickly is critical to reducing the overall damage done by the virus. The closures required under the State Order are substantial. They usher in another very difficult period for many businesses and residents. However, waiting 10 days or two weeks for the same changes to take effect would only create a deeper hole out of which to climb. Acting fast and as a region can help save lives and shorten the amount of time these restrictions need to stay in place.”
Thus, the most recent Regional Stay Home Order from the state and the county’s action to implement.
Please respond to survey so SJDA can accurately convey the critical state
of downtown business to elected officials and media
The county fully understands the need to move quickly to save lives, but it needs to be reminded understanding the urgency of the situation to small businesses. You can be a big help by spending less than five minutes on a brief survey that will provide SJDA with data and message points for our advocacy and media inquiries about just how dire our struggle is.
Please take the survey by Monday, Dec. 14. Thank you.
