There is great economic power in our community but it needs to be identified, maximized, and retained. The heart of the creative collective lies in our community’s entrepreneurs. We want to seek out and identify entrepreneurs and innovators within our community and create a place where the two can successfully collide. 

In Gallup’s book “Entrepreneurial Strengthsfinder”, the author Jim Clifton states that it is up to the local city leaders to identify and nurture the entrepreneurs within their community. jim also writes that “each city needs its own highly individualized plan because each city has its own unique entrepreneurial talent – and each must find it, maximize it and retain it.”
