an opportunity to complete their Small Business Registration with the State of
California, reservations are no longer being accepted for this event.
However, there is a networking opportunity that is open to
all small businesses that are interested in learning more about the California
High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) and the goals established for small
business utilization.
"The
Authority is committed to creating opportunities for small businesses with an
aggressive 30 percent goal of participation in California's high-speed rail
program," said Jeff Morales, Authority CEO. "We have been working to engage
small businesses and encouraging them to get involved. Many of our contracts are
long-term and will be a big boost economically for small businesses. We want to
help small businesses prepare to work on the project."
The
Authority's Small Business Advocate Robert Padilla added, "The initial
construction in the Central Valley is expected to cost $6 billion dollars and a
significant amount of that could go to certified small businesses. These
workshops are a critical part of the process for the Authority to partner with
California's small businesses."
