"Small businesses are the heart of Detroit’s economy and they deserve access to the tools that help them grow and succeed," said Mayor Mary Sheffield. "This funding will make it easier for neighborhood small businesses to modernize, reach more customers, and operate more efficiently."
"Strong neighborhoods are anchored by thriving small businesses," said Justin Onwenu, Director of the Office of Small Business Services and Economic Opportunity for the City of Detroit. "When we invest in our small businesses, we invest in the families they support, the jobs they provide, the communities they serve, and the future we are building together."

Participating organizations include: the East Warren Development Corp, Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation, Live6 Alliance, Southwest Detroit Business Association, Michigan Black Business Alliance, Arab American Chamber of Commerce, ProsperUS Detroit, TechTown Detroit, and Michigan Women Forward.
