SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMMING
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAMMING TEAM?
At the center of Detroit’s economic revitalization is our robust small-business community. Home-grown restaurants, retailers and service providers bring needed goods and services to residents. Small businesses provide local jobs, stabilize neighborhoods and create a sense of community. Black-owned businesses are especially important to an inclusive and accessible economy. DEGC provides a host of programming to help startups and established businesses flourish.
