Congresswoman Doris Matsui is holding a small business workshop on Tuesday, June 30 at the Sacramento State Alumni Center (6000 J Street, Sacramento). This workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and the objective is to help small business owners learn more about the resources available to them and understand how to contract with the federal government.
The morning workshop will cover topics such as: helping your small business obtain financing, understanding how the stimulus bill can benefit small businesses, how to become certified by the federal government, how to contract with federal agencies, and how to access business counseling resources. The event will include presentations from representatives of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), U.S. Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and Federal Technology Center. Representatives from the General Services Administration (GSA) and Veteran Affairs Northern California Health Care System (VA-NCHCS) will also give presentations on how they, as government agencies, work with small businesses. A representative from the Department of Labor (DOL) will also give a presentation on their Green Jobs initiative and business employment related programs.

On Monday, Aerojet, Solar Power Inc., and SMUD announced that a 3.5 megawatt solar field will be built on 20 acres of Aerojet land. When completed, the solar field will be comprised of more than 18.000 solar panels. Not only will this be one of the largest industrial installations in the U.S., it is an excellent example of sustainable redevelopment on an existing Superfund site. In addition, the power generated by the solar system will be able to offset over 20% of the power needed to operate Aerojet’s extensive network of groundwater extraction wells and treatment systems, and represents a significant “buy local” effort, with all parties headquartered in the region.
For more information, see the joint press release from Aerojet and SMUD.
