The Conservancy has been pressing our City elected officials to take action in support of legacy businesses since 2019.

We encourage owners of businesses operating in Los Angeles for 20+ years to register for an online informational webinar about the City of Los Angeles Legacy Business Program, which offers access to Capital, including Grants, technical assistance, operational support, and promotion for your business.
