Is Corona Silencing Local Businesses and Voices? We Think So.
The City of Corona's recent crackdown on signs isn't just about aesthetics—it's about controlling information, stifling local enterprise, and making it harder for businesses, non-profits, and causes to connect with the community they serve. When the city removes signs, they aren't just "cleaning up"; they are disconnecting the people from the local economy.
The Impact on Real Businesses. FC Riverside County is a local business that has been directly impacted by the city’s aggressive sign removal. Because our facility is located in a hidden area, proper signage is our lifeline; without it, it is nearly impossible for our customers to find us.
This creates a rigged playing field. While city-subsidized competitors and well-connected organizations enjoy marketing advantages and prime visibility, independent businesses are left in the dark. This isn't just unfair—it is an affront to the competitive spirit that builds our city.
Meanwhile, city-subsidized competitors enjoy marketing advantages while we're left in the dark.
What's Happening?
The City Council is making it increasingly difficult for everyone—from small businesses to vital non-profits and community causes—to express themselves. They are aggressively removing yard signs and tightening regulations, claiming it's for "city beautification."
But we have to ask: If they truly cared about the number of signs, why didn't they address this before they were elected? It seems that once they secured their seats using their own signs, they decided the rest of us didn't need that same right. We believe this is a direct attempt to limit the free flow of information and control what the people of Corona see and hear.
Why This Matters to You
For Businesses
Are you struggling to get noticed? Are city regulations making it harder for customers to find you, while your competitors get a leg up through backroom deals? You're not alone, and you shouldn't have to fight the city just to serve your customers.
For Non-Profits & Causes
Is it harder to spread your message, organize events, or raise awareness for your vital work? When the city restricts signage, they undermine your ability to connect with the community and fulfill your mission.
For Residents
Do you believe in free expression and the right for local voices to be heard? Do you want a city that supports its local economy, or one that hinders it with red tape?
