A new crop of HotHouse Accelerator companies went on display last Wednesday during the Cal Poly CIE event, Crossing the Chasm. Winners from the summer program received $10,000 in seed funding, access to advisors, downtown office space and the chance to validate their business. Pretty much everything short of mom doing their laundry. Wanna give back to the community and these Red Bull-fueled young entrepreneurs? Become a mentor or donate.
| Habitat for Humanity of SLO will receive a $35,000 grant from the city to help rehab a home on Highland Drive. The happy owner gets a nice new roof, windows, insulation and drainage! Sounds mighty fine, where do I sign up? Nice try… you kinda have to be a low-income senior, so it may be best to check back in a few decades. Fixing up homes is a shift away from Habitat’s mission, but since the cost to build here is so astronomical, they’re trying a new thing: rehab. Sounds like they could use some help. |
Not so fast. SLO City Council is standing up for their “secure and diversified future water supply” after a front page article in the Tribune gave prominence to a group of locals who urged the city council to consider a two-year moratorium on new development and asked for larger study to assess this city’s future water supplies.
To show they’re not gonna take it, no, they’re not gonna take it, the City released this 14-page thing, assuring residents about the city’s future water supply, and trying to assuage fears that new development could be halted for two years. SLO Councilmember Carlyn Christianson called the moratorium request “fear-mongering at its worst”.
