This week we issued a press release announcing our two new small business assistance programs approved by the City Council last month and calling for applications. The graphic shown at right includes the basic program details for both. A program flyer with a similar design and additional info is attached to this report along with a copy of the press release. The complete guidelines, requirements, and application forms are available to view at www.ArcadiaCA.gov/SmallBusiness. In the coming weeks, we will be working closely with the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association, and others to get the word out to the Arcadia small business community about both programs.
