Gabriela Leal told the MEEDC that her business saw a 95% revenue increase, 68% higher car counts and a rise in employees from six to 10 after a recent EDC investment; she invited board members to a BNI networking event.
Gabriela Leal reported back to the MEEDC on business performance following a small EDC investment. She said revenue rose approximately 95% year‑over‑year, car counts increased 68%, sales tax receipts rose substantially and staffing increased from six to 10 employees.
Leal called the investment an overachievement of the original plan and left performance materials for board review. She described BNI (Business Network International) as a weekly referral group and invited members to an in‑person chapter meeting and an online weekly meeting, providing contact cards for interested board members.
Board members congratulated Leal on the results and accepted the invitation to network with other local businesses; Tammy and staff will distribute the invitation cards after the meeting.
