ask Force brings together experts and leaders<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

to achieve economic resiliency<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES COUNTY \u2014Supervisor Kathryn Barger chaired the first meeting of the Los Angeles County Economic Resiliency Task Force today, in partnership with Vice Chair Supervisor Hilda Solis, and Supervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas, Shelia Kuehl and Janice Hahn. In addition to the Supervisors, the Task Force consists of 13 leaders representing the business; labor; infrastructure; food industry; arts and culture; digital media; non-profit; sports; faith-based; and education sectors. These sectors have been impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis and their input is critical to any efforts to safely reopen the Los Angeles County economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we prioritize the public health and well-being of our residents, we must also amplify the voices of the businesses and organizations who have been impacted by this crisis,\u201d said Supervisor Barger. \u201cThis is not about choosing between our health or our economy; this is about creating a dialogue that recognizes both the safety and fiscal impacts of this virus and creates solutions that addresses both.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Economic Resiliency Task Force will develop actionable recommendations for the County to leverage public-private partnerships to improve the economy, create jobs, and return to full employment. The task force will meet bi-weekly, and review recommendations brought forward by industry specific working groups.<\/p>\n

The sector leads will be working with the Board, County departments and other private sector representatives to identify specific and safe plans for reopening that are in alignment with the county\u2019s prerequisites for easing \u201cSafer at Home regulations.<\/p>\n
