QUOTES
âLet us be absolutely sure we are providing a good deal for the real job creators in California â our small businesses. This $20 million will be provided through grants to Small Business Development Centers, and other federally-designated small business assistance centers. As the 5th largest economy in the world, California must remain competitive as a national and global leader by supporting small businesses, job growth, and the infrastructure on which it relies.â
- Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva
âI am proud to stand alongside Assemblymember Quirk-Silva in championing funding for Californiaâs small businesses. Small businesses are the cornerstone of Californiaâs economy, and it is critical to ensure that small businesses have the necessary resources to be successful in leveraging state dollars. The technical assistance centers that would benefit from this funding will support our women, minority, and veteran owned small businesses.â
- Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, Joint Author
