Minding Our Business

“Community Development is not Economic Development.”

-Matt Cummings, 11/02/15

“Money is the root of all evil.”-Misquote, Ibid

Two Observations:

! Business is a thing.

! We don’t make business safe by rejecting it.

Three Questions: ! What is our “business”?

! Is it marketable, viable, and sustainable?

! What does a healthy “corporate partnership” look like?
