Redwood City Economic Development Newsletter – April 10th Update

The following is a message from the Economic Development Manager of Redwood City.

Greetings Redwood City Business Owner,

I want to begin by thanking you; this is truly an unprecedented time and although there is much uncertainty, your collaboration and partnership has continued. Please know that as a City, we are here to help navigate through this situation together.

As your economic development manager, I am striving to support you – our local business community – with providing information and sharing programs to help provide relief. We know that the success of small businesses is important to the economy and contributes to the economic vitality of the Redwood City community. Small businesses create jobs, foster innovation and provide revenue to fund City services, provide entrepreneurial opportunities for people including women and minorities, and provide essential goods and services.

We also know that the March 17, 2020 County of San Mateo order to shelter-in-place greatly reduced businesses’ ability to maintain regular operations, thus impacting your revenue and employees. Businesses have had to close or have stayed open with reduced staff and customer access. The cumulative effect of the loss of business revenue and staff has yet to be quantified because of the need for Redwood City businesses to make changes quickly and without planning.

Over the last few weeks, I have consulted with over 200 Redwood City businesses seeking guidance and/or assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please know that we hear you. And, we will continue to be here as a resource for you.

Be sure to visit the City’s website and Business Resources page, as information will continue to be updated.

If you need additional information or assistance please call me at (650) 780-7204 or email me at .

Don Burrus
Economic Development Manager
