The American Rescue Plan’s allocation for communities provides an opportunity for city leaders to assist small businesses impacted by COVID-19.

We have compiled four ways that cities can help small businesses survive and thrive. In addition, we hosted a webinar with Toby Rittner, President and CEO of the Council of Development Finance Agencies, as we present ideas for how cities can support small business owners.

My relationship with the Retail Strategies team has been extremely valuable over the last couple of years as I’ve searched for sites in the Southeast. They have been persistent and provided any information they could gather for available properties that fit my criteria. If they received news that a space was coming available they made sure to immediately give me a call and connect with the owners. I would recommend using this service to any of my colleagues looking in their client cities.
