Attention Greater Ashmont Main Street Business Owners!

Our upcoming business networking and resource event will provide an overview of the small business services available to you through the Small Business Unit of the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development. The event will provide an opportunity to learn about the resources, get your questions answered, and connect with other local, small-business owners who've accessed these resources. Greater Ashmont MS Executive Director Jenn Cartee and a representative from Boston Main Streets will share how you can access city resources such as: technical assistance, design and grant assistance for your signage or storefront, small loans available to grow your business, and how to becoming a certified business owner with the City and state. These services are available to all small businesses and entrepreneurs in the City of Boston whether you are in our Main Streets District or not, but your local Main Street can facilitate the process to get you the help you need for a thriving business.
