1:30–2:45 pm General Session —Banquet Rooms 1-8 Leveraging the Power of Community Capital

The success of Michigan’s communities and the small businesses that reside in them are inextricably linked. Both urban and rural municipalities across the state have a vested interest in supporting their small business communities. Small businesses provide employment, vital community services, tax base, and the energy needed to foster and maintain vibrant places. This session invites CapCon attendees to consider how to cultivate a strong and resilient local economy and drive impactful development through community partnership and local investment, in particular by activating non-traditional community investors.
