On Friday, a coalition of political leaders from North San Diego County joined LEGOLAND in calling for safe and responsible business openings in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. After the new closures on July 12, businesses across a myriad of industries have been greatly affected.<\/p>\n
Business sectors deemed “non-essential” by the state have been required to close once again, leading to a collapse in revenues and a huge increase in people out of work. Businesses have come up with cohesive plans and proven their willingness to reopen in a safe and effective manner.<\/p>\n
In the Friday meeting, North County leaders gathered at LEGOLAND and called for all businesses that were closed on July 12 to be reopened. They also asked that additional businesses including theme parks, libraries, invitation-only receptions and meeting rooms, street fairs, and live music also be permitted.<\/p>\n
“Businesses are frustrated by a lack of support from the State of California,” said county Supervisor Jim Desmond. “We are seeing more and more businesses close permanently\u2014we have to help San Diegan\u2019s get back to work, before it\u2019s too late.”<\/p>\n
\nToday, I stood alongside North County leaders to call upon the Gov. to allow businesses that were closed on July 12th, to reopen. (Indoor places of worship, gyms, etc.) <\/p>\n
Also, we are urging the Gov. to allow, libraries, wedding receptions, street fairs and LEGOLAND to be open. pic.twitter.com\/SxBMYM9PtU<\/a><\/p>\n
