Economic opportunity is essential for community growth. By supporting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)-owned businesses, we empower local entrepreneurs, foster economic inclusion, and strengthen Hartford’s economy.
Empowering local entrepreneurs is a cornerstone of our strategy. Small businesses, especially those owned by BIPOC individuals, are vital to Hartford’s economic and cultural fabric.
We support BIPOC business development through:
- Resources for food entrepreneurs, including training and access to capital.
- Partnerships with local organizations to create thriving retail spaces.
- Advocacy for policies that reduce barriers and promote equitable business growth.
By fostering entrepreneurship, we ensure that economic development benefits the entire community.
