California Comeback Plan
Besides a $6.2 billion tax cut to help small businesses, there will be a $250 million Cal Competes grant program which will draw businesses to relocate to California
Gov. Gavin Newsom stopped through Oakland on Thursday to promote the “California Comeback Plan.” It will provide an additional $1.5 billion in COVID-19 relief grants, becoming the largest relief program in the United States for small businesses.
Besides a $6.2 billion tax cut to help small businesses, there will be a $250 million Cal Competes grant program which will draw businesses to relocate to California.
Newsom was joined by State Senator Nancy Skinner, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, Alameda County Supervisor Wilma Chan, Terilyn Gray, Small Business Advocate for the State of California, Cathy Adams from OAACC and Black business owners from Beastmode Barber Shop and Graffiti Pizza.
The Post was granted an exclusive one-on-one interview with Newsom and that interview will appear on postnews.com
