CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
World’s Fair in California
10-05-10
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
In a recent trip to the World Expo in Shanghai, China, Governor Schwarzenegger
announced that California will bid for Expo 2020. “Shanghai has proved that
hosting a World Expo will attract world's attention,” Schwarzenegger said,
“California has world's leading entertainment, agriculture, environmental
protection, high technology as well as green technology and biotechnology”.
“California will use the Silicon Valley as the site for the Expo 2020 and will
exhibit the state's innovations and achievements to the world,” he said. He
also hoped that California will have the opportunity to become the world's focus,
too.
Officials said that the US government and California State government will formally
submit the bidding application for Expo 2020 to Bureau of International Expositions
in 2011. The Expo site will be set at Moffett Field in Silicon Valley next to San
Francisco Bay.
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
