The Downtown West Orange Alliance and the West Orange Chamber of Commerce welcomed representatives from state and federal business support organizations, as they met to share what resources they have to offer for local businesses.
GNEC, a nonprofit community development financial institution, hosted a lunch at Castle Rock Bar and Grill, and were joined by representatives from the NJ Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), Women's Center for Entrepreneurship (WCEC), and Small Business Administration/New Jersey (SBA).
We also toured several businesses in the Eagle Rock Corridor (Vida Hair & Skin, West Orange Cafe, Jessy's Beauty Salon, and Uptown Ink & Thread/TeeRico) to find out ways in which these organizations might have resources they could tap.
We are truly appreciative to these groups for sharing so much vital information with our local community!
