Please join Senate Chair Jason Stajich, Planning and Budget Chair Dana Simmons, and Asst. Vice Chancellor of Governmental & Community Relations Elizabeth Romero on<strong><span style="font-family:Roboto"> Monday, April 18th from noon-1:00 pm</span></strong> at
a virtual open discussion on <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2046"><span style="color:#E4002B">Assembly Bill (AB) 2046</span></a> authored by Assemblymembers Jose Medina and Adam Gray that establishes
the Inland Rising Fund. AB 2046 requests $1.46 billion dollars for the Inland Rising Fund which directly appropriates funding to anchor institutions in the Inland Empire and Central Valley to accelerate regional economic development growth and opportunity
in two of the most underinvested regions of the state.<br>
<br>
A majority of the Inland Rising Fund will construct the physical infrastructure and expand capacity at the University of California, Riverside and University of California, Merced to address critical needs of the state and local region related to educational
equity, climate change and healthcare. Attached is the bill language.<br>
<br>
California is the world’s fifth largest economy with thriving industries, a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. Yet, it is also a tale of two states where prosperity is not equitably shared. California grapples with growing disparities between coastal and
inland regions. Over 70 percent of job growth since 2010 has been in coastal California, and inland California counties are declining in income relative to the rest of the state. Inland communities have growing populations and countless assets to leverage
for future economic growth. Increasingly California’s regions are interconnected--our future success relies on reversing our growing disparities.(<a href="https://opr.ca.gov/economic-development/regions-rise.html"><span style="color:#E4002B">https://opr.ca.gov/economic-development/regions-rise.html</span></a>)<br>
<br>
Join us to learn more about this proposed transformational investment for UCR which will accelerate economic growth, regional development and address critical needs of the campus and the Inland region.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
