Your Voice Matters: Join a Virtual Listening Session Shaping the Future of Local Business
If you call Bankhead, Grove Park, Lakewood Heights/Jonesboro Rd., or the Historic West End home, this is your moment to speak up, be heard, and help shape the future of small and Black‑owned businesses in your neighborhood.
These communities are rich with history, culture, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit and now, residents have a chance to influence how that energy grows. After all Atlanta influences everything.
Be Part of the Conversation
A series of virtual listening sessions is bringing neighbors together to share real experiences, real challenges, and real hopes for the businesses that anchor their communities. Whether you are a longtime resident, a new neighbor, a business owner, or someone who simply cares about the future of your block, your perspective is needed.
This is not a lecture. It’s a conversation, one where your voice carries weight.
When to Join
April 16, April 23, April 28 6:30–8:00 PM Virtual on Zoom
Come as you are. Log in from your couch, your kitchen table, porch or wherever you feel comfortable.
A Thank‑You for Your Time
Every participant will receive a $50 gift card as a token of appreciation for contributing to this important community effort.
Why Your Voice Matters
Small and Black‑owned businesses are more than storefronts, they are gathering places, job creators, culture keepers, and the heartbeat of our neighborhoods. Your lived experience helps shape:
- What resources these businesses need
- What challenges they face
- What opportunities should be prioritized
- How the community can support long‑term growth
Your insight can influence real decisions and real investments.
