Local Jobs, Small Business, and Revitalized Corridors
LOCAL BUSINESSES SHOULD GROW, RESIDENTS SHOULD HAVE STRONGER PATHWAYS TO JOBS AND OPPORTUNITY, AND COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS SHOULD BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Ward 8 residents and local businesses deserve an economy where existing businesses can grow, entrepreneurs can build, and residents can connect to quality jobs and career pathways.
Small Business Support and Growth
Local businesses and entrepreneurs should have clear information, access to city resources, and ward office support to navigate barriers, identify opportunities, and grow.
Revitalized Corridors and Storefronts
Active storefronts, cleaner and safer commercial streets, and welcoming public spaces help neighborhood corridors attract customers, support local businesses, and stay active.
Local Jobs and Neighborhood Benefit
Public investment and major development should bring visible benefits to Ward 8, including local job opportunities, stronger businesses, and commercial growth that benefits the surrounding community.
