OPINION & COMME NTARY
Biz Starts
The people at the helm of these
curated spaces are just as critical —
the Main Street managers, economic
developers, planners and local leaders
who create the environments where
businesses can both launch and thrive.
These professionals create the condi-
tions for prosperity by invigorating
storefronts, activating public spaces and
nurturing the diverse web of relation-
ships that define a great Main Street.
When we invest in this comprehensive
support system, we give small busi-
nesses not just the tools to operate, but
the structure they need to truly flourish.
We're excited about our upcoming
joint summit to showcase commu-
nities and business owners across
Connecticut who are building local
ecosystems through a range of
innovative approaches. From business
owners who crowdsource their brick-
and-mortar designs through social
media interaction to those integrating
flexible revenue strategies that layer
online sales with rentable kiosks,
events and local collaborations, we're
seeing creativity drive resilience.
Behind the scenes, Main Street
managers and municipal leaders are
introducing fresh ideas, piloting new
programs and demonstrating just how
transformative local leadership can be.
Small businesses and downtowns
working together succeed for the
same reason Connecticut succeeds —
the constant cultivation of strong rela-
tionships between entrepreneurs and
their communities. One of the great
strengths of our state is the tradition
of public-private collaboration and a
commitment to shared success and
an eagerness to invest in one another.
Together, these efforts collectively
uplift our communities, create oppor-
tunities and make Connecticut an even
better place to live and work.
By strengthening our small busi-
nesses and the downtown ecosystems
that surround them, we are building the
connections that will carry us through
uncertainty and allow Connecticut to
be a great state to live, visit and start
and grow a business.
Michelle McCabe is executive director
of the Connecticut Main Street Center
(CMSC), a nonprofit that works with
communities across the state to create
thriving downtowns. Chris DiPentima
is president and CEO of the CBIA,
Connecticut's largest business organi-
zation. The organizations are partnering
on the March 12th "Building a Main
Street Business Ecosystem" summit
in Hartford.
