We are teaming with Economic & Workforce Development Department to host the second Crenshaw JEDI Zone meeting on Thursday March 28 from 6:00pm – 7:30pm at 5462 Crenshaw Blvd, 90043. This meeting is a follow-up to our November 9th meeting, and open to all Crenshaw businesses interesting in participating.
In addition to the JEDI Zone, we will also be discussing the launch of the Legacy Businesses program which exists to support small businesses that have been operational for 20 years or more, with tangible benefits including technical assistance, promotional support, and access to capital including grants.
