 | ACTION ALERT – Support Councilmember Taylor’s East Oakland Equitable Economic Development Agenda From the Office of Councilmember Loren Taylor |
| Dear Zenophon, |
| Thank you for your continued support! Through your partnership my office has been able to secure much-needed resources for East Oakland, including increased investments into our diverse small businesses, public safety measures (prevention and response), community parks, and more. I am happy to share that we along with some amazing community partners are building on this momentum by bringing forward three items to next Tuesday’s Council meeting. As a part of my East Oakland Equitable Economic Development Agenda, I am requesting you show your support for the following items: Item 7 – Establishes an exclusive negotiating agreement between the City of Oakland & The Black Cultural Zone Community Development Corporation for development of the city-owned 73rd & Foothill lot into a mixed use residential, commercial, and community campus that will benefit the surrounding community with jobs, workforce housing, arts & culture, and small business incubation Item 11 – Accepts and appropriates the state’s $8M grant for ESO Ventures to provide access to capital for small businesses and entrepreneurs in East Oakland Item 12 – Accepts Google’s donation of commercial kitchen equipment that will be used to support culinary activities and initiatives at Arroyo Viejo Park, including a new commercial kitchen that will be available to East Oakland Food entrepreneurs Here is how you can help: Email your support for “Councilmember Taylor’s East Oakland Equitable Economic Development Agenda” to the full council at [email protected] Log in to Tuesday’s council meeting at 1:30pm, to make a public comment Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88527652491 Phone: +1 669 900 6833, Webinar ID: 885 2765 2491 Forward this email to your neighbors, District 6 listservs, and fellow East Oakland advocates |
