MAY IS SMALL BUSINESS MONTH

The State of California has officially designated May 2021 as Small Business Month in recognition of the achievements and contributions of small businesses to both the local and national economy.

The City of Santee is encouraging citizens to celebrate and recognize the value of small businesses within our community, and support these local small businesses throughout the year by shopping locally.

This past year, small businesses in Santee have experienced unprecedented challenges and financial hardships as a result of COVID-19 closures and restrictions, and they have responded with perseverance, commitment and resiliency.

The City of Santee has been working with the Santee Chamber and the East County Economic Development Council to provide business assistance grants and programs, technical assistance, and marketing support to assist the Santee business community in addressing these challenges and hardships.
