Business News & Resources
TOML/Mono County Winter Storm Damage Survey
The Town of Mammoth Lakes (TOML) and Mono County are collating a list of residential property/business owners or renters who have a critical need to clear their roof from excessive snow and/or to gain access and clear their propane tank as a primary heating source. The Town will prioritize the requests based on critical life safety needs and will contact the individual with further information if resources become available.
The collected data will be used to estimate total damages countywide and determine if enough damage occurred to qualify the region for disaster assistance, such as low interest disaster loans from the Small Business Administration for those who are uninsured or underinsured. Completing the form does not guarantee the region or the property owner will be eligible to receive disaster assistance. Please submit info by Saturday, April 15, 2023.
Woodstove Replacement Program
The Town of Mammoth Lakes is announcing a new Woodstove Replacement Program for property owners who want to upgrade from wood-burning stoves and fireplaces to cleaner, more efficient heating systems.
CalChamber Names Flexible Work Schedule Bill as Job Creator
Legislation making it easier to set up flexible work schedules has been named a job creator by the California Chamber of Commerce. SB 703 (Niello; R-Sacramento) allows for an employee-selected flexible work schedule and relieves employers of the administrative cost and burden of adopting an alternative workweek schedule per division, which accommodates employees, helps retain employees, and allows the employer to invest these savings into growing its workforce.
Portable Backup Generator Warning
During our current winter season, Mono County Public Health reminds residents to never use a backup generator inside of a home, garage, or other structure – even if the doors and windows are open. Portable backup generators produce poisonous carbon monoxide gas, which is coloroless and odorless. It is important that residents and visitors take caution when using these tools during the winter season.
COVID & Flu Vaccines
Mono County Public Health is available for businesses that are interested in setting up vaccine clinics at their businesses for employees. They can provide both COVID and flu vaccines. Contact Jen Burrows for details.
Small Business Development Center
The Central California SBDC Regional Network is doing everything in its power to help your business grow and thrive. FREE help is available for every single small business located in Mono County.
