In addition, San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones announced that the city has approved over $2.17 million dollars in funding for 79 businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe believe in our community, we believe in our businesses, and we really felt that this was one of the ways we could make a significant impact,\u201d explained Mayor Jones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loan program isn\u2019t the only thing that the City of San Marcos is doing to help its local businesses. They recently took a page from County Supervisor Jim Desmond\u2019s book, and sent out his \u201cSan Diego Back To Work\u201d survey to local businesses. This survey has already been highly successful at getting feedback from local businesses regarding plans to reopen safely in the very near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayor Rebecca Jones and the San Marcos City Council have done an admirable job of providing necessary fiscal relief where it needs to go, and of reaching out to hear from small businesses during these trying times. Their leadership is a beacon to all of San Diego, demonstrating what good can happen when we identify the needs of our community and get to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/planeta\/5439172624\/in\/photolist-5qg713-3Skns1-9MLYu8-2hQ1qaG-2hQdrTG-2hPo51U-2hPk7xA-2hPFWou-2hPQPua-79BcD2-89TcV5-WHxduw-wKzC1B-qKJVKu-75mcCp-s6fgYK-texTG-9EXFjs-9EUKmB-3KMcR4-bCQiqV-qMGB8L-qpTxZJ-9hDbwm-bpVj7L-5JPFC4-bpVg17-fEm7Th-fE4xiH-fE4xrH-fE4xzp-6g6Wxx-fE4nci-bCQgVn-bpVmwA-bCQhF4-bpViBu-bpVhwm-bpVgmb-bCQhft-bpVjXA-bpVhTW-bCQga6-bCQeVp-bpVgEy-fEm7Z7-fEm8vJ-fE4wVZ-SDE4a1-fE4xV8\">Photo by Ron Mader via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Marcos has been working diligently to help small businesses stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic.
