Enhancing our... business climate


Our Goals
"Make the Sacramento Region the best place in California to do business..."

Top


Our Rationale
Businesses that create diverse, high-paying job opportunities are a cornerstone of a successful economy. They can also boost quality of life through increased home ownership and charitable giving.

By increasing dialogue and cooperation between the public and private sectors, we can maximize use of existing economic development tools, services and information – and figure out which are most important to concentrate on in the long run.  

Partnership for Prosperity's Business Development initiative aims to:

  • Create tools that link entrepreneurs and employers to training programs, financing, networks and support; and

  • Increase dialogue and networking between the public and private sectors on an ongoing basis.
