Todd Dubois urges Hollister council to support small businesses at public meeting

During the recent Hollister City Council meeting on March 3, 2025, community engagement and support for local businesses emerged as key themes. Residents were encouraged to utilize social media platforms to voice their opinions and advocate for local enterprises. One speaker emphasized the importance of small businesses, suggesting a boycott of larger corporations to foster a competitive environment for local shops.

Todd Dubois, a long-time Hollister resident, expressed his enthusiasm for the council's agenda, specifically requesting the reopening of the comment period for a particular item. His call for increased public participation highlights the community's desire for transparency and involvement in local governance.

The discussions reflect a growing sentiment among residents to strengthen local economic resilience and ensure that the voices of Hollister citizens are heard in decision-making processes. As the council continues to address these issues, the emphasis on community engagement and support for small businesses is likely to shape future initiatives and policies.
