Governor’s ‘Vax for the Win’ Program
Governor Gavin Newsom has launched “Vax for the Win,” a new multifaceted COVID-19 vaccine incentive program designed to motivate Californians leading up to the state’s reopening on June 15. The incentives aim to give an extra nudge to those who still need to get vaccinated against the virus, especially those in hard-to-reach communities.
All Californians aged 12 and older who are at least partially vaccinated are automatically eligible for cash prize drawings taking place in June. Thirty winners will be selected for the “$50,000 Fridays” cash prize drawings on June 4 and June 11, totaling $1.5 million. On June 15, $1.5 million will be awarded for a grand total of $15 million in prizes. Winners must complete their vaccination to claim their prize. If someone under age 18 wins, the cash will be put in a savings account until they turn 18.
Learn more on the Governor’s website.
Collaboration on Marin’s Post-COVID-19 Economy
As Marin’s business community begins to emerge from COVID-19 restrictions, the County of Marin is developing a new plan to strengthen the local economy and attract a diverse workforce.
The County’s Economic Vitality Strategic Plan will be developed with a wide range of stakeholders and aims to help businesses adapt to a Post-COVID-19 economy. In partnership with the Marin Economic Forum, the County is receiving $130,820 in federal grant money to assist funding a strategic planning process. The plan is envisioned to be completed this year following robust input from community stakeholders.
