Opinion: State Putting Money Where It's Mouth Is
Orange County Register
There’s much more to do, of course, and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development is working with businesses large and small day in and day out.

California: Then and Now
Trade and Industry Magazine
The transformation of the California economy in the last five years is nothing short of remarkable. Flashback to 2010 before Governor Brown took office. California had a record unemployment rate of 12.4 percent, there was a massive $27 billion budget deficit and California lagged behind the U.S. in job growth. California had no state office for economic development and it seemed like once a month a visiting Governor was taking shots at California.

The newly formed California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) held a conference call today to provide EB-5 stakeholders with an update related to the issuance of Targeted Employment Area (TEA) designations in the state of California. While this grandfathering of existing projects is welcome news that will not disrupt pending projects, Brook Taylor, Deputy Director for GO-Biz was not able to state how long this policy would be in place for. Importantly, the state will no longer allow applicants to link multiple counties, cities or census tracts together to create an area of high unemployment certified by the state, commonly referred to as “gerrymandering.” Mr. Taylor noted on the call that aggregating counties, cities, or census tracts are not in line with the state guidelines of the program as the intent of the state is to support projects in areas of high unemployment and to ensure transparency in the TEA designation process.
