Orange County’s elected representatives will share updates and discuss economic development, workforce, housing and infrastructure issues impacting Orange County.
Beach erosion isn’t just an environmental issue, it poses serious risks to Orange County’s business economy, tourism, and quality of life. Join Orange County Business Council on Wednesday, October 22, from 9:00 – 11:00 AM (PST) at The Marina Park Community & Sailing Center for a timely discussion on the economic impacts of shoreline loss and the funding challenges of protecting our coastlines. Hear from experts, elected officials, and business leaders as they examine restoration needs and explore strategies to preserve our beaches.
With billions of dollars in regional revenue tied to our coasts, understanding and addressing this issue is critical for sustaining Orange County’s economic development.
