Ogorchock invites Antioch business owners to meet with Police Chief Ford Dec. 15 on fighting crime
Plans to form Business Mastermind Group
By District 3 Councilwoman Lori Ogorchock
Antioch business owners:
This is an invitation to a private meeting with the City of Antioch’s Chief of Police Dr. Steven Ford to create a Business Mastermind Group. You are invited to share your ideas on how to deal with the challenges of operating a business in Antioch and how to bring back the joy of doing business in Antioch.
When: Thursday, December 15, 2022
Time: 6:00pm
Where: Community Room at the Antioch Police Department
Who is Invited: Business owners and representatives
As you are aware, theft, vandalism and personal threats to your safety have increased. The costs of repeated vandalism repairs and the hiring of personal security are both driving businesses out of the city.
The City of Antioch is a beautiful and amazing location to live and have your business here. It is unfair to be driven out of the city by those who do not care if your:
walls are graffitied
windows are broken/boarded up
doors are kicked in/damaged/boarded up
roofs are torn apart
walks to access doors are soiled making customer access difficult
customers feel uncomfortable
This is not acceptable!
There are far more vandals than there are police, hence the reason that the businesses need to figure out how to work together. Businesses need to put a city-wide plan together and work hand in hand with each other and the police.
Bring your suggestions and ideas to the meeting and let’s start to mastermind a better way to do business within the City of Antioch.
To ensure we have enough space RSVP the Antioch Chamber of Commerce at (925) 757-1800.
