Connecting the People, Ideas & Resources That Move Our Business Community Forward

So, where do we go from here?

How do we continue to build a stronger local business community? How can we cultivate vacant spaces and create more opportunities for thriving businesses? How do we use the power of storytelling to highlight what makes our neighborhoods special? And how do we define and strengthen community safety?

We’ll dig into what’s working, what’s not, and what we can build together.

Please join us as we gather Business Association leaders, business owners, community partners, and local resources to:

• 🤝 Build stronger connections and collaboration among our business community

• 📈 Share economic development opportunities and resources

• 🏪 Support and strengthen our small businesses

• 💬 Talk honestly about community safety and what businesses need

• 🌱 Stay rooted in our trades, District 1 neighborhoods, and local economy

• 📣 Share stories, ideas, and strategies that are working

• 🎉 Celebrate our businesses and the successes happening right here in District 1

This is more than another business meeting — it’s a chance to get in the room with the people who are helping shape the future of our Midway/District 1 business community.

And yes — come hungry! We will feed you! ❤️

Stay tuned for speakers and agenda announcements!

Space is limited, so register today and save your spot.
