Business Advocacy and Leadership

Developed two significant advocacy campaigns via letter writing for business district to influence public policy, revitalization, obtain funding support and safety initiatives.

Safety & Security Advocacy: Successfully advocated for and secured $367,000 in targeted funding ($167,000 vandalism relief grant + $200,000 for street team) to enhance public safety and provide direct support to local businesses.

Infrastructure revitalization policy:
Our business district advocated for a public realm strategy led by the City which would see revitalization of infrastructure that was over 40 years old. We launched a joint letter writing campaign and influenced the City to approve the project for future implementation.
