Return to Our Impact

JUly 2024

From Pride and Comic-Con to the County Fair, Summer always marks some fun, exciting, and impactful moments for San Diego’s community and economy.

As we focus on the continued advancement of a regional economic development agenda where inclusion is a cornerstone and economic imperative, we need to continuously reassess and re-evaluate what inclusion (and our related actions) truly means. Our economic development dialogue, agenda, and goals must recognize and remember the impact that small and LGBTQ-owned businesses have on our economy throughout the year and see the stimulus effect that events like San Diego Pride and others have on our community.
