Shaker Heights Business Engagement 2023 VISTA
 
 
 
SHDC’s sub-site VISTA project is focused on developing and implementing the Small Business Growth and Sustainability Workshop Series for small businesses located in the Chagrin+Lee district, the only LMI Census tract (1836.03-1) in Shaker Heights to provide them with equitable access to opportunities to grow and create jobs in our community. The Small Business Growth and Sustainability Workshop Series will consist of workshops and one-on-one trainings and cover a range of topics, including but not limited to Funding/Grants; Financial Planning; and Collaborations etc. The VISTA will be responsible for researching and connecting with potential partner organizations and target audience to implement the programs. The target audience will be existing businesses looking to grow as well as entrepreneurs in the early stages of forming a business with an emphasis on minority and women-owned businesses. The Small Business Growth and Sustainability Workshop Series program will aim to help individuals especially woman and minority-owned businesses enhance skill sets for increased employment opportunities for Shaker residents in the LMI Census tract. The sub-site VISTA project will also focus on a co-work and resource facility, The Dealership located in the LMI Census tract (1836.03-1) in Shaker Heights. The VISTA will develop and implement a speaker series for small businesses. The outreach work will further establish The Dealership as a community asset that can be leveraged by community members and local businesses to build assets. The VISTA will also convene the Chagrin+Lee business association. This work will strengthen the capacity of businesses to recover from the impacts of the pandemic, increase revenue, and create jobs. This work supports the goal of thriving local business districts that contribute to an equitable and vibrant future for our community.
