A Note on Small Business Developments in the Route One Area from the Director of the Hyattsville CDC
As many of you already know, the Hyattsville CDC is trying to get local folks to consider opening their own businesses in the neighborhood: you know, the "Think Globally, Work Locally," kind of thing. The benefits derived from this local development focus can run the gamut from stimulating sustainable economic initiatives and reducing regional traffic, to strengthening the social network that makes places like Hyattsville so unique in this metropolitan area. Recently, we've been concentrating on helping attract and develop some new businesses, especially to generate some tenancies for the empty Route One locations. One component of the Hyattsville CDC's 2008 / 2009 Strategic Plan, recently adopted in March by our Board of Directors, is to measurably increase business occupancies in Hyattsville. To that end we've been marshalling resources and energy. Hyattsville CDC Chairman Mike Franklin, who has been examining and assessing the downtown Route One business scene for more than a decade, observed that "the opportunities are there, but it takes more than just opportunity for a start-up business to get rolling in our market, you have to serve a true niche, and really know your customers." |
