President Biden will arrive in Santa Clara County Thursday morning to begin his tour of the Central Coast and the damages left behind by the storms. Biden also plans to talk with business owners and residents who were impacted the most.
The president, accompanied by FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state and local officials, will visit the storm-damaged Capitola Pier in Santa Cruz County, where he will meet with business owners and affected residents.
Joshua Whitby is the kitchen manager at Zelda’s on the Beach, a beachfront restaurant in Capitola that’s served Santa Cruz and its tourists for over 40 years. As Zelda’s staff works to replace flooring, plywood in the walls and cleans up as much as they can, Biden will survey storm damages, talk with residents and business owners, and meet some first responders. He will also be accompanied by U.S. Senator for California Alex Padilla.
"There’s been a lot of tears, there’s been a lot of anger, and we’ve moved into that stage of hope. I think this is the kickoff stage towards the rebuild to have the president come here, commit those resources and commit to be with us for the long term," said Friend.
