Supervisor Dean Preston emphasized the need for community input on grocery closures, stating, "For far too long, decisions affecting our neighborhood grocery stores were made by corporate elites behind closed doors. But no longer. With the Grocery Protection Act, our communities will finally have a say." His remarks reinforce the importance of transparency and involvement in local governance.
Preston also highlighted the procedural changes introduced by the Grocery Protection Act, explaining, "When a major grocery store closes, we'll now have a six-month warning, a public meeting where people's voices will be heard, and time to create a plan that prioritizes neighborhood needs over profits." This statement encapsulates the community-focused goals of the legislation.
