Life in Action is the City’s workforce and economic development initiative, connecting local businesses with the support and resources they need to start, grow and thrive.

The Cove - Carlsbad is one example of that support in action. When its founders set out to create a coworking space with onsite childcare, they surveyed local working families about where it should be located. The response was overwhelming: Carlsbad was the top choice.

The City helped bring that vision to life by identifying appropriate building zones and reviewing potential locations, helping The Cove avoid permitting delays and additional costs. The City also connected the founders with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, which introduced the business to the community through a ribbon-cutting celebration.

Today, The Cove continues to grow while providing a welcoming space for Carlsbad’s working families.
