CalHHS will partner with the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), leveraging its expertise in business investment services such as site review, permit assistance, and other related activities. CalHHS will lean on GO-Biz’s expertise to mitigate risk and properly execute the proposed manufacturing facility, if 
CalRx proceeds with this component of the project.&amp;quot;</text></comment>
