Economic Development

It is the civic and moral responsibility of our City leaders to put people back to work.

 

With a City-wide unemployment rate of greater than 10%, and double that in Bayview/Hunters Point and the Tenderloin, it is critical to the re-vitalization of District 6 and the City of San Francisco that we put people back to work. Economic development leads to job growth.
 
As your District 6 City Supervisor I will strongly support: 
 
  • FEE DEFERRALS TO JUMP-START MAJOR DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

  • JOB TRAINING AND APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS IN PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO PROVIDE OUR YOUTH WITH A CLEAR PATH OUT OF POVERTY AND INTO A GOOD PAYING JOB

  • MORE CITY PURCHASES OF COMMODITIES AND SERVICES BE FILLED BY LOCAL SUPPLIERS

  • A MORE ROBUST BUSINESS INCUBATOR OFFICE TO ASSIST ENTERPRENEURS IN COMMERCIALIZING INNOVATIVE IDEAS

  • LOW-INTEREST REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAMS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS

  • MICRO-LOAN PROGRAMS FOR MINORITIES AND WOMEN

  • REVENUE NEUTRAL NET RECEIPTS TAX WITH A PAYROLL/WAGE DEDUCTION TO REPLACE THE CURRENT PAYROLL TAX
  • NO INCREASE IN THE HOTEL TAX

I propose a long-term strategic plan for the creation of more Business Empowerment Zones of Innovation to encourage the creation of start-ups and re-location of existing companies to our City and District 6. This will target growth industries such as high-tech, bio-tech, and clean-tech.
