As soon as I’m mayor we will begin a challenge to get 1000 new startup businesses in Akron in the first 2 years I am mayor.
People will be able to submit their business ideas and then these people will be assigned to business advocates that will help make these into real, fully functioning businesses.
Through the help of places like Jumpstart, SBA, SCORE, The Knight Foundation and independent consultants and companies we can make this a reality and then do it again in the following 2 years.
