April 8th, 2011 in Business, Community, Events |
From the desk of our Neighborhood Revitalization program manager, Nhan Nguyen:
Please save Tuesday, April 19, 6-7:30pm on your calendar to attend the White Center Business District Mixer Meeting.
We will hear reports on current business improvement projects:
Annual White Center Spring Clean Event (May 14, 2011): drawing over 400 volunteers completing about 20 projects throughout the community. Registration is currently open; a fun event for the entire family. Volunteers received free “I heart White Center” t-shirt, breakfast, lunch and entertainment.
Social media marketing: assistance to businesses to set up business Facebook account
Business Resource Guide: a brochure to assist existing and new businesses finding relevant resources from governmental and private agencies
Shopper Incentive Card: guide to find discounts and good deals in White Center.
As you may have heard, two medical marijuana dispensaries are opening in White Center. I have invited the owner of one of these businesses, the G.A.M.E Collective, to attend our mixer meeting and he has accepted. We have invited folks from the health organizations, law enforcements, and social service organizations to attend as well. Folks have different opinions when it comes to medical marijuana businesses so I believe it’s helpful to have an informative discussion. I’ll frame the discussion on the effects they may have on our business district in term of economic development and clean and safe issues.
New businesses are opening in our business district:

At any rate, we are building on great momentum in the White Center community; let’s keep it strong:
