Environmental Department (BSEED) have partnered to host an educational series to help Detroit entrepreneurs and building property owners navigate the complex world of city compliance. The second annual “Small Business Corridor Compliance Education Series” will run from April 29 to August 26, offering valuable insights on regulatory compliance, enforcement, vacant property accountability and resources for participants.


With approximately 40 percent of Detroiters considering themselves entrepreneurs, clear guidance on city compliance is more important than ever. Failing to comply with regulations can result in liens, garnishments, seizures and other legal actions. The education series aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to avoid these pitfalls and create a more compliant and thriving business environment in Detroit.


DEGC’s District Business Liaisons (DBLs), who serve as the primary point of contact between the City and the small business community, will play a crucial role in facilitating the series and providing ongoing support to entrepreneurs. By leveraging their expertise and local knowledge, the DBLs will help ensure that the series is tailored to the specific needs of each district and that participants receive the guidance they need to succeed.


The series will feature in-person sessions in each of Detroit’s seven City Council districts, as well as monthly webinars at DetroitMeansBusiness.org/dbl for those unable to attend in person. The in-person sessions will take place on the following dates:


  • District 7 – April 29th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Adams Butzel Complex

  • District 1 – May 20th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Crowell Recreation Center

  • District 4 – June 4th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at MASH Detroit

  • District 3 – June 24th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Matrix Human Services

  • District 5 – July 15th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Butzel Family

  • District 2 – August 12th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Live6 Alliance Neighborhood HomeBase

  • District 6 – August 26th, 5 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Patton Memorial


The sessions are free for small business owners and building property owners in Detroit. For more information visit DetroitMeansBusiness.org/dbl or DEGC.org/ district-business-liaisons.

It is admirable that DEGC and BSEED are collaborating to educate the public! A better society is largely shaped by education, and it motivates peer groups to run together. Such initiatives reflect the values of information and guidance simply because the Quran highlights the importance of knowing and acquiring knowledge. Promoting education is consistent with the Quran's teachings, which often emphasise the advantages of acquiring knowledge for individual and societal advancement. Continue your outstanding work!

Detroit has some incredible colleges and I was fortunate to attend them. It was while attending one of these schools that I wrote my first research proposal. I was overwhelmed by the complexity of the task, but luckily, I found a reliable service that provides research proposal writing services. With their help, I successfully completed my proposal, which became a major milestone in my academic journey.
