On Tuesday December 2nd, members and representatives of Space Connect showed up at the County Commissioner Chamber in support of the Office of Small Business Development, led by Director Axel Miranda, as he presented important ordinance changes requiring commissioner approval.
Showing up matters, especially during working hours, when small-business owners are busiest. Yet our community filled the room.
Because when we show up, we make noise. When we show up, we are seen. When we show up, our voices carry weight.
This is what occupying important spaces looks like.
This is how we remind our County that local dollars must stay in the local community… and that small businesses are not just contributors, we are partners.
For those who have never attended meetings like these:
Your presence truly makes a difference. Policies that shape our business ecosystem are decided in rooms like this, and it’s crucial that the people most impacted -small-business owners- are visible, engaged, and heard.
A huge thank you to the members and partners who took time out of their workday to stand with us and represent our community:
