Alameda County Public Health Care Agency released a statement this week that given recent increases in COVID-19 cases and hospitalization rates in the region, it is temporarily pausing reopening plans; this means extending the timeline for the next phase of reopening and pulling back its request for a Variance Attestation.

In case you missed it, hear how the City’s Business Support Program has helped some of our small businesses. This is Shipra Channon, owner of JJ’s Threading Salon at the Rose Pavilion in Pleasanton. Shipra is one of the many business owners that applied for and received funds through the loan program. The simple application process provided funds to help her small business prepare to reopen during COVID-19.

The program provides zero-interest, unsecured, short-term loans of up to $2,500 ($2,900 in Downtown) to eligible independently or locally owned micro-enterprises, restaurants and retail businesses. Apply online at www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/eddsupportfund. See Tutorial for detailed application instructions.
