September 12, 2025, City News
Sebastopol business owners are invited to share their voices at a special Business Listening Session with City Council on Monday, September 30, at 6:00 p.m. at the Sebastopol Cultural Community Center, 390 Morris Street.
The City is launching its new Economic Gardening Program, designed to help local businesses thrive, and wants direct input from the business community. City leaders are asking:
- What challenges are slowing your business growth?
- What opportunities could strengthen Sebastopol’s business climate?
- How can the City better support your success?
- How can communication on permitting and policy be improved?
This event is more than a meeting—it’s a chance to connect with decision-makers, network with fellow entrepreneurs, and shape future City programs. Light refreshments will be provided.
Can’t attend? You can still share your input by emailing vhenkel@cityofsebastopol.gov.
City staff emphasize that every voice matters. “Your insights will directly influence the City’s economic development priorities and programs,” they noted.
