Chu Earns Larkspur Business Award

The Chamber of Commerce honors Larkspur City Councilmember as its latest Business Citizen of the Year.

Running the City of Larkspur is like running a business, which would put City Councilmember Larry Chu on its board of directors.

Chu was honored Friday as the newest Business Citizen of the Year by the Larkspur Chamber of Commerce during a luncheon at Left Bank Brasserie.

"I don't have a business here in Larkspur ... (but) my time here is typically 3 in the afternoon or after, which is still enough time for a couple hours of city business. The City of Larkspur is a business," Chu said.
