<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nThe Economic Development Committee meets at 7:30 pm on the first Tuesday of the month.<\/p>\n
The mission of the Economic Development Committee is to foster economic growth in the community board district by introducing citizens – business owners, job-seekers, and entrepreneurs – to resources conducive to their success. A key goal of the Economic Development Committee is to educate citizens of the district about economic opportunities that both the city and the non-profit sector provide so enterprises can reach their full potential. These opportunities include job training, loan programs, grant programs, business plan development, management training, licensing and certification programs, to name just a few.<\/p>\n
