The Alliance attracts new and
retains existing businesses and jobs by fostering a
business-friendly environment where the private sector can
succeed without a heavy overburden of restrictive regulations
and costs.
Alliance staff and members advocate on many issues, testify before City Council
and various Commissions; send letters of support to city, county,
state and federal officials on business issues; and meet with
elected officials at every level, including travel to Washington,
D.C. on Cap-to-Cap to seek stimulus funding for shovel-ready
projects.
Just a few recent advocacy efforts within the last year include:
·
Regularly attend and testify before City Council and
Commissions on issues impacting Power Inn Area; i.e. Nestles Water,
Planning, Specific Plan, etc.
·
Initiate on-going meetings with key City agencies and
Dept. Heads, i.e. Development Services, Economic Development, Code
Enforcement, Solid Waste, Planning and DOT. Agency heads speak often
at Alliance committees and functions.
·
Heavily involved with City and Long Range Planning for
New 2030 General Plan, and negotiated with property owners to
mitigate rezoning issues.
·
Created Vision Task Force with area businesses
and civic leaders to design the over-arching principles for future
growth.

·
Work closely with SHRA, 65th St. and Army
Depot RACs to leverage money for capitol improvements. SHRA staff
sit on committees and the Board.
·

sponsored annual Business Walk, contacting over 150
businesses in a single morning.
·
Planning and Business Development Committee (formerly PZAC)
continuously monitors and reviews all major permits and improvement
projects.

Did you receive your two stickers for your
front door that tell your customers what to do but also send the
message that we’re all working together for a Greater Power Inn?
They are simple to apply to each side of your front door (just be
sure they are aligned).
If you have more than one door, we’re happy to supply as many as you
may need.
Just call our office and request we mail you more (916.453.8888).
Imagine the impact on your guests and customers when every front
door of the 1,100 members of the Power Inn Alliance proclaim we’re
Pushing and Pulling for a better community.
