L.A. AREA CHAMBER RESPONDS TO CONTINUED CLOSURES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AMUSEMENT PARKS
October 22, 2020
by L.A. Area Chamber
The state’s announcement regarding the guidelines for the reopening of theme parks is devastating news for the thousands of park employees and the surrounding communities. Theme parks support families through jobs as well as surrounding businesses that serve its guests. This news is especially hard on local small businesses who have been struggling to keep their doors open, many of them women and minority owned. Public health and safety must come first but collaboration is needed. We urge Governor Newsom to bring all parties to the table to structure an innovative reopening plan that protects jobs and our local economies while prioritizing safety.
