Baja Sonora Featured During First Prime Time for Business Presentation at City Council Meeting
(LONG
BEACH, CA; March 20, 2012) – The very popular Baja Sonora restaurant and
catering service will be the first Long Beach business showcased during the “Prime
Time for Business” segment at the Long Beach City Council meeting, today
announced Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske.
Schipske
authored a proposal at City Council in February to give local businesses the
opportunity to make a 5-minute presentation during the third council meeting of
the month and to highlight their services and any job openings they may have
for local residents. Each councilmember has the opportunity to invite a
business to make a presentation during City Council.
“This
is the least the City Council can do to show local businesses that we
appreciate they are doing business in Long Beach. These businesses not only
provide sale tax revenue, they provide jobs and community services that
sometimes goes unnoticed,” says Schipske. “Small businesses are the backbone of
our economy and Long Beach needs to get more people to start businesses
locally. I hope the City Council taking time to listen to these businesses will
send a message that we appreciate what they do for our economy.”
Baja
Sonora is an authentic Mexican Restaurant with two locations in Long beach,
located in the 5th and 7th Council Districts. Baja Sonora
has been in business for 14 years and is the recipient of awards and

Taco” in Sunset Magazine’s “Best of the West” and the “2011 Fifth District Good
Neighbor Award.”
“Baja
Sonora is more than two fantastic places to eat,” Schipske notes. “The owners,
Mary Sophiea and Mike Mendelson have made a tremendous commitment to our local
schools by donating more than $30,000 for school projects.”
