COVID - 19 Business Recovery Assistance Task Force
Find past meetings on demand. |
The City Council of the City of Beverly Hills created the COVID-19 Business Recovery Assistance Task Force in April 2020. The Task Force is comprised of local business leaders to plan for the recovery and develop strategies for success for our business community as Beverly Hills prepares to re-open following the pandemic. The members of the Task Force bring decades of Beverly Hills business, hospitality and tourism experience to this critical dialogue and will lead an even more diverse group through discussions with the business community.
The Task Force will not determine the HOW or the WHEN a business will re-open however the Task Force will help inform the City and its partners on how we can help our businesses not only re-open but thrive in the new normal. The Task Force will be focused on policies that the City of Beverly Hills can evaluate for our Beverly Hills businesses as a whole related to fees, taxes, zoning limitations, signage, parking and more.
If you have concerns about individuals that are not wearing face coverings or businesses that are not following the mandatory LA County Public Health Protocols, please contact Beverly Hills Code Enforcement at 310-285-1119.
