Ventura County would welcome CDC scientists, and we have Amgen located here so there’s already a scientific community. We also have year-round weather around 71 degrees, sunny days, beaches and mountains. We’re next to Los Angeles if you want more culture, and LAX is less than 60 miles away.
As a resident of Ventura County I agree. 😀 I also suggest near UCSB since there are dozens of biotech firms near there. ( I worked for two based in Goleta.)
We need SB 829 (Scott Weiner); it protects scientific advancement in CA. It establishes CISR to award grants & make loans to public or private research companies, universities, institutes, & organizations for scientific research & development; authorizes the state to produce & distribute vaccines.
