Webinar guides small businesses located along the Metro Blue Line Extension in Minneapolis
Small businesses located along or adjacent to the recommended METRO Blue Line Extension were invited to access free legal services to prepare them for what’s coming… Elevate Hennepin, a resource hub that connects local entrepreneurs to professional advisors, was created to provide free consulting to Hennepin County businesses, from marketing to accounting to legal services. Right now, Elevate Hennepin is focusing on outreach to businesses in the METRO Blue Line Extension corridor, helping to get them plugged in to navigate change and prepare for opportunities of light rail.
“These small businesses can access up to 25 hours of free professional consulting from advisors on broad range of needs,” Mianulli added.
