Thank you to everyone who came out to support Best City to Start!

Last night, we had dozens of entrepreneurs and organizations come out to share why Best City to Start policies would make a difference for our city, neighborhoods, and economy. And now, we are onto the next steps in the process: Drafting the legislation + getting it passed! ✅

Special thank you to our Best City to Start Coalition of organizations: @cityseedhaven, @resetco, @collabct, @conn_corp, @ctbbaorg, @grandavenuessdct, @westvillect, @newhavenarts, @youthentrepreneursct, @inclusivegrowthnhv, and @greaternhchamber.

And, of course, thank you to every entrepreneur who has helped shaped these policies: @ohshitosauce, @havenlynhv, @lacocinadesandrallc, @veneziapizza.ct, @juddcreative, @the.bapple.pie, @wildwoodgranola, @chef_sils_vegan_kitchen, @jpeg2k, @dougcoffin, @joshcrumby, @ctl0v0, @eastrockbreads, and more.

Entrepreneurship can be defined as individuals who take a risk on behalf of our community — and, ultimately, for so many it is an act of love and care for our city. Let’s make it easier, more clear, and more affordable to start and grow!
