The panel discussion will examine the economic development tools and collaborations that support entrepreneurship. The Historic Tax Credits, Community Improvement Districts, Parks, Bike Lanes, Neighborhood Associations, Community Development Organizations, Business Associations, Business Incubators, etc. – all these entities collaborating within our community help to support entrepreneurship, attracting millennials to boomers to live, work, and play.  We need to be creative and collaborate to achieve success in our communities, city, and region.
