Ready to Work was a big swing for Nirenberg, which required getting voter approval in November 2020 to divert a 1/8 cent sales tax for four years to fund the job-training program.ahead of the 2020 election focused on 10,000 people getting training every year of the four-year program, for a total of “up to 40,000″ people served.
“Workforce development and education is going to be intensive work for every step that we go through,” he said. “And I‘m just proud that this city has supported it. We’re going to continue to stay after it. And if we’re willing to do that, then we can sincerely talk about wanting to end poverty in this city. If we don’t, we should just stop talking about it.City officials publicly presented expansive plans to develop the area around Hemisfair on Nov. 21, including a new Spurs arena.
“It’s not that we’re building airports and we’re thinking about Project Marvel in expense of housing, and transportation, and workforce, and education. It’s, in fact, because of that. We’ve already done that. We are doing that,” Nirenberg said. “And unless we are going to be a city that waits around forever to do the nice things because we haven’t completed the important things, the fundamental things, we’re never going to get past where we are today.
