Pasadena is full of possibilities, and together, we can make it a place where businesses prosper and opportunity is plentiful.
One-Stop Application Platform: I will advocate for a single, easy-to-navigate platform where business owners can apply for licenses, permits, and other regulatory requirements in one place. By modernizing outdated practices and investing in efficient technology we can simplify the process of doing business. This streamlined approach will eliminate redundant paperwork, reduce wait times and eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy.
Guidance and Support Programs: Many new business owners find the regulatory process overwhelming. I will work to expand support services, such as permitting workshops, dedicated help desks, and online resources that provide clear guidance on how to navigate city requirements.
Encouraging Industry Diversity: I'm dedicated to creating a varied economy by supporting expansion in important industries. In addition to offering residents a variety of professional options, a diverse economy builds resilience and aids in navigating economic ups and downs.
Connecting Local Businesses with Community Initiatives: I will promote partnerships between local businesses and community organizations to support local causes, such as schools, neighborhood events, and volunteer programs. This will enhance the city’s sense of community while benefiting both businesses and residents.
