Business is thriving on California’s Central Coast and Access Publishing’s CEO Scott Brennan thinks it is about time local businesses have a dedicated news platform: the Central Coast Business News. “Just in San Luis Obispo County alone, local businesses contributed $1.3 billion in sales taxes in the fourth quarter of 2016,” said Brennan.

“This amount is certainly a noteworthy contribution towards supporting local community and county services,” said Brennan. “And this amount does not include the support local businesses donate to youth and community activities.”

Central Coast businesses and community organizations represent everything from accounting and agriculture to a zoo and contributed $14.3 billion to the gross regional product in 2016. Collectively, businesses located in San Luis Obispo County, South Monterey County, and North Santa Barbara County serve a population close to 500,000 residents as well as thousands who visit the area every month. The new website, Central Coast Business News gives Central Coast businesses an important media outlet that is dedicated to announcements about business successes.

Local business support is what makes vibrant community activities such as local festivals, youth activities and art and entertainment possible. Business growth is supported through local resources like local chambers of commerce, economic development, and professional organizations. The Central Coast Business News is the latest resource from Access Publishing to keep business in touch with the community and with other Central Coast businesses. The new website gives local businesses the opportunity to:

• Share business successes


• Announce new services and products


• Share awards and recognition the company has received


• Announce promotions and retirements


• Announce support for community organizations
