The core goals of the Small Business Showcase Series include:
- Showcasing small businesses and their unique offerings
- Driving public awareness of local services and brands
- Increasing revenue opportunities through strategic promotion
- Supporting equitable economic development and strengthening Columbus’s small business ecosystem
🤝 A Councilmember Nick Bankston Initiative
