COMMENTARY | California’s rural and inland regions have been left behind, and while CA has set aside billions to support growth, we need to ensure those resources are used wisely, argue Bill Emmerson and Gil Garcetti of the Little Hoover Commission.
To reduce these disparities, less prosperous regions need inclusive regional economic development. In other words, they need both sustainable economic growth and greater economic inclusion.
The state’s support for inclusive regional economic growth deserves recognition. However, on its own, CERF does not provide the support, coordination or leadership needed to reduce the economic disparities between regions. Third, state leaders must put equal emphasis on growth and inclusion. California must address the significant economic disparities that exist within regions, as well as those between them. State government must work with less prosperous regions to build on their strengths and make their economies more productive, competitive and innovative while ensuring that disadvantaged communities benefit.
