Committee plans small-business support event; Energize Sandy and property leads discussed
Summary
Staff proposed a small-business support event (web design, accounting, SBDC/CDFI participation) and updated the committee on Energize Sandy program participation, a MUF property in escrow, and outreach to potential relocators including Mount Hood Meadows.
Staff asked the committee for feedback on hosting a small-business support event focused on practical assistance—web design, accounting, loan programs and business planning—and suggested partnering with the SBDC and the Chamber. "If we do that, I would love to see outreach to some of even smaller businesses like the HVAC owners and the landscape businesses," one committee member said; staff suggested lunchtime sessions might be easier for small operators.
During roundtable updates staff reported progress on the Energize Sandy business pipeline and said the MUF property (a gas-station site) is in escrow with a potential close in June; staff also said Mount Hood Meadows had expressed interest in studying potential Sandy locations. Members discussed how city staff could help prospects evaluate multiple parcels and encouraged follow-up feasibility work and outreach to hotel and business operators.
