| BRIEFS REACH 2030 An action plan designed within ten years to meet the economic needs of the Central Coast with the proposed creation of 15,000 new jobs in aerospace, agritech, technology, and renewable energy. With more than 200 partners, the economic impact organization REACH (formerly the Hourglass Project) aims to create a better landscape for future residents with improved housing and job markets. 23 The number of polling locations in SLO County for the 2020 Primary Election come November, down sixty-nine percent from the usual seventy-four locations, according to County Clerk-Recorder Tommy Gong. Only 400 poll workers will staff polling centers that typically host up to 1,000. The number of days polls will be open, however, are increasing to four, beginning on Saturday through Election Day Tuesday. More than 177,000 registered voters in the county will receive mail-in ballots at least twenty-nine days before November 3. Stuff the Bus It’s back-to-school time again, and due to the pandemic and social distancing guidelines, United Way of San Luis Obispo’s twelfth annual school supply drive has gone virtual. More than ever, local students and teachers are in need of supplies to begin the year successfully. You can help by visiting UnitedWaySLO.org/stuffthebus. 22 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | AUG/SEP 2020 MC3 The Multi-Craft Core Curriculum apprenticeship readiness program restarted in July by the Tri-Counties Building & Construction Trades Council. The eight-week pre-apprenticeship, taught with a combination of live online instruction and hands-on training, helps SLO County residents enter new career paths as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, sheet metal workers, and more, acting as an onramp to head-of-household pay and benefits. “Be bold. Be you.” The new tagline for the Gala Pride & Diversity Center in San Luis Obispo, which in turn is the new name of GALA, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of the Central Coast. Since its founding in 1997, GALA has shifted to become more inclusive, providing resources to all within the LGBTQ+ community, and the rebranding better serves its mission to provide a safe place promoting wellbeing and resources. $1.7 million The cost of two electric transit buses to replace two of the city’s oldest dieselpowered buses that are at the end of their useful life. The SLO City Council unanimously approved the purchase, as the transition to electric-powered buses aligns with the city’s Climate Action Goals and California’s Innovative Clean Transit regulations mandating all public transit systems be zero emission by 2040. A majority of the cost will be paid by grant funding. Electric buses have a lower operational cost and do not produce greenhouse gases that have a negative impact on the environment. “Live theatre’s powerful storytelling connects people in ways that open the mind, nourish the soul, and illuminate our shared humanity.” SLO REP’s belief statement as articulated by Managing Artistic Director Kevin Harris in a recent edition of “The Intermission Show,” a local twice-a-week YouTube sensation connecting the SLO REP audience even though the pandemic has kept the physical curtain from going up. Addressing the Black Lives Matter movement and anti-racism in live theatre, Harris and his board of directors recognize they have a tremendous amount of work to do to live up to this vision, but are inviting the public to explore it with them. 34% The number of local businesses that have adopted alternative ways to sell and deliver products since the pandemic began, according to a regional impact survey conducted by a Central Coast Chamber of Commerce coalition in June and July. Nearly 32 percent of businesses responding have changed the products and services they offer as well. It’s no surprise, revenue/cashflow remains the number one challenge documented in the survey by a large margin. SLO LIFE
