The City is seeking proposals for activities to strengthen local business organizations and help stabilize commercial areas, so that they contribute to the economic growth of their members and assist the City in attainment of its economic development objectives.
The City will contract with new and/or existing business associations to act in an advisory role to the Community Planning and Economic Department of the City (CPED). It is the intent of the program that the available funds are to be allocated to the business associations who show they have the capacity to effectively communicate with the business community and act as a partner with the City in promoting the business services that are available.
