Uplift is excited about the contributions of our coalition and so many others to the new California Jobs First Economic Blueprint, a statewide plan built with input from 13 regional plans—including Uplift’s plan!—to drive sustainable economic growth, innovation, and access to good-paying jobs over the next decade. Last week, Governor Newsom announced the Blueprint is paired with $125 million in funding to support new, ready-to-go projects.
“California’s economic dominance and success are grown locally, with the contributions of each diverse region of our state. From agriculture to clean energy to film to every industry in between, our Golden State owes its success to the people, communities, and industries that make it work. I am proud of the collaborative work of Californians from every region who developed this statewide Economic Blueprint. California thrives because we work together, despite adversity and even disagreement. It is this collective resilient spirit that will help move Los Angeles forward and help us overcome any challenge that stands in our way.” —Governor Gavin Newsom
