Lomita Chamber Celebrates 2021 Startup to Watch Award Winner Project Barley Brewery

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Congratulations Project Barley! As a startup Brent Reger, Reeves Borland and the Project Barley crew pivoted necessarily during Covid including adding food to their business model in order to keep moving ahead during the last year. They have been an active vendor at the Lomita Farmers Market every week since it launched. After working with the County to adapt to Covid and health code requirements which have shifted and changed so frequently throughout the past year, they tenaciously moved forward through each of the obstacles thrown their way in an effort to remain in service to the people of Lomita and the South Bay. Project Barley is recognized for doing what it takes to swiftly adapt their business to move forward during the past year as the 2021 Startup to Watch Award Recipient.

Thank you to our Sponsors: Coastal Funeral Center, City of Lomita, Thompson Building Materials, Lomita Post-Acute Care Center, California Water Service, Monster Tree Service, Water Replenishment District, Torrance Memorial Medical Center, Home Health Depot, State Farm Agent Tabitha Pennington, New York Life, Berkshire Hathaway Calfornia Properties, Lomita’s Best, South Bay Credit Union, Localista Media and Koven Video Productions.

The Housing Element is a strategic vision and policy guide designed to help address the City’s housing needs, identify barriers or constrains to providing needed housing, and provide goals and policies to address these housing needs and constrains. Lomita’s projected housing needs for the 2021-2029 planning cycle is 829 units based on population and household growth.*
