A Declaration for San Antonio’s
Small Business Future
1. Mismanaged public works projects are strangling our businesses.
2. The city must implement Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) to prevent extended road closures and unnecessary delays — just like other major Texas cities.
3. We demand clear timelines, direct communication, and accountability for infrastructure projects that impact small businesses.
Fix:
Construction Management
Provide:
Pandemic debt relief
1. Many small businesses are still struggling with the financial burden of COVID-19.
2. We demand city-backed relief measures and programs to help local
businesses recover fully.
Ensure: Accountability & Transparency in City Government
1. The city must stop making decisions that affect small businesses without including small businesses in the conversation.
2. We demand open, public dialogue before policy changes that impact the local economy.
San Antonio is unique because of our small businesses.
1. The city must stop enacting policies that displace or damage independent operators.
2. Progress should enhance communities — NOT DESTROY THEM.
Protect:
our vibrant neighbors
