Earlier this year when Kent George, CFM retired, I promoted Jeremy Pesina into the Interim Economic Development Director role. Jeremy has shown a strong skillset for utilizing technology and data to #economicdevelopment. He has not disappointed and is leaning into a this opportunity to support our big goals for City of Waco, TX. One of his latest projects has been the creation of an Esri Story Map which shows the more than 70+ projects we have taken on over the past couple of years here in Waco. Take a look at the link below and visualize the more than $2.3 Billion in capital investment representing more than 5,000 jobs added to our region's economy. https://lnkd.in/eV-FdSTE
https://lnkd.in/gXY4eRp4 AT&T is excited to announce our partnership with HHF and the Grow Your Chispa Program! We recognize the Hispanic entrepreneurs who, on top of paving their way to success, have also opened the door for future generations. We believe that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and play a crucial role in fostering innovation, creating jobs, and driving local communities. Latino-led small businesses have grown over 34% in the past 10 years compared to the 1% growth of all small businesses. Through this program, we aim to empower Hispanic entrepreneurs by offering (5) $10,000 grants to those making a direct impact in their community. By providing small business grants, AT&T and HHF hope to not only alleviate financial burdens but also foster a support system that encourages entrepreneurship and helps small businesses thrive.
