Business Development Workshop Series

Our Business Development Workshop series is designed to teach business principles that would assist start-ups, entrepreneurs and small business owners with creating a sustainability and growth model during the pandemic. Our vision is two-fold: we want to see emerging and established business owners thrive and, we want to develop urban business districts and create safe, walkable and prosperous communities, particularly in the Martin Luther King, Jr, Park district.
