Program launched to build Hispanic businesses

Marcia Pledger February 26, 2007

 

A new Hispanic Business Expansion and Attraction Pilot Program is being launched by the Cuyahoga County Board of Commissioners, the Hispanic Business Association, City of Cleveland and Team NEO. The goal of the pilot program is to attract new business to Cuyahoga County and expand existing businesses. Local Latino-owned companies are being surveyed to better form programs to assist in business expansion and development and to create a Hispanic business-to-business directory. Brochures and workforce development and economic development pages on the county's Web site will also be translated into Spanish. For more information, call program manager Nana Abreu at 216-443-7267.

That's quite a presumption you're making.

(is my sarcasm not coming thru loud and clear?  :|)

Interesting, just today there was an article in the Journal-News about two hispanic business owners upset with the Butler County Commissioners over how the current illegal immigration/hispanic influx dispute in Hamilton/Butler County is severly hurting their business. You may remember last year when officials from Cuyahoga County came to Hamilton to attract hispanic businesses there.

Latino and LatinoCleveland.com, two of the newer media outlets in Greater Cleveland's Latino community, were compiling a listing of Latin Hispanic-owned businesses when the roster just kept growing.

 

 

It's LATINO.  LA-TI-NO! damnit!

I love Titus Quinctius Atta's used toga shop down on Lorain, and I always tell my friends to get their chariot wheels fixed at Lucius Afranius' Chariot Emporium and Circus!
